macOS : macOS Server < 5.3 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 99128

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is missing a security update for macOS Server.

Description

The version of macOS Server (formerly known as Mac OS X Server) installed on the remote host is prior to 5.3. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the Apache HTTP server when handling a saturation of partial HTTP requests. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash the daemon. (CVE-2007-6750)

 - A denial of service vulnerability exists in Action Pack in Ruby on Rails due to improper restrictions on the use of the MIME type cache when handling specially crafted HTTP accept headers. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause the cache to grow indefinitely. (CVE-2016-0751)

 - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the Wiki Server component due to improper checking of unspecified permissions. An unauthenticated, remote can exploit this to enumerate users. (CVE-2017-2382)

Solution

Upgrade to macOS Server version 5.3 or later. Note that macOS Server version 5.3 is available only for macOS 10.12.4 or later.
