Scientific Linux Security Update : libreport on SL6.x i386/x86_64 (20151123)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 87062

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

It was found that ABRT may have exposed unintended information to Red Hat Bugzilla during crash reporting. A bug in the libreport library caused changes made by a user in files included in a crash report to be discarded. As a result, Bugzilla attachments may contain data that was not intended to be made public, including host names, IP addresses, or command line options. (CVE-2015-5302)

This flaw did not affect default installations of ABRT on Scientific Linux as they do not post data to Red Hat Bugzilla.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
