Amazon Linux AMI : mod24_nss (ALAS-2016-714)

high Nessus Plugin ID 91628

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux AMI host is missing a security update.

Description

It was reported that +CIPHER operator in OpenSSL changes the order of a cipher. Instead of returning an error (as NSS does not support cipher ordering), it returned the result of processing up to that point, which could result in requested ciphers not being enabled.

Solution

Run 'yum update mod24_nss' to update your system.
