Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.69810 |
Category: | Red Hat Local Security Checks |
Title: | RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2011:0959 |
Summary: | NOSUMMARY |
Description: | Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2011:0959. Mutt is a text-mode mail user agent. A flaw was found in the way Mutt verified SSL certificates. When a server presented an SSL certificate chain, Mutt could ignore a server hostname check failure. A remote attacker able to get a certificate from a trusted Certificate Authority could use this flaw to trick Mutt into accepting a certificate issued for a different hostname, and perform man-in-the-middle attacks against Mutt's SSL connections. (CVE-2011-1429) All Mutt users should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to correct this issue. All running instances of Mutt must be restarted for this update to take effect. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0959.html Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 5.8 |
