critical Nessus Plugin ID 96354

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

**Version 5.4.5** (2016-12-29)

 - SECURITY FIX: fixed CVE-2016-10074 by disallowing potentially unsafe shell characters

 Prior to 5.4.5, the mail transport (Swift_Transport_MailTransport) was vulnerable to passing arbitrary shell arguments if the 'From', 'ReturnPath' or 'Sender' header came from a non-trusted source, potentially allowing Remote Code Execution

 - deprecated the mail transport

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected php-swiftmailer package.
