Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2013-0296)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'ssmtp' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2013-0296 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'ssmtp' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2013-0296 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was reported that ssmtp, an extremely simple MTA to get mail off the system to a mail hub, did not perform x509 certificate validation when initiating a TLS connection to server. A rogue server could use this flaw to conduct man-in- the-middle attack, possibly leading to user credentials leak. As a result, alterations may be required to the configuration if using TLS. The default ssmtp.conf now contains the lines below to load root certificates which should be created as ssmtp.conf.rpmnew if it has been altered. #IMPORTANT: Uncomment the following line if you use TLS authentication #TLS_CA_File=/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt Affected Software/OS: 'ssmtp' package(s) on Mageia 2, Mageia 3. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
