Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2013.0353
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2013-0353)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'pdns, polarssl, ragel' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2013-0353 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'pdns, polarssl, ragel' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2013-0353 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Updated polarssl packages fix security vulnerability:

The researchers Cyril Arnaud and Pierre-Alain Fouque investigated the PolarSSL
RSA implementation and discovered a bias in the implementation of the Montgomery
multiplication that we used. For which they then show that it can be used to
mount an attack on the RSA key. Although their test attack is done on a local
system, there seems to be enough indication that this can properly be performed
from a remote system as well (CVE-2013-5915).

Also, the pdns package has been updated to work with the updated polarssl.

Affected Software/OS:
'pdns, polarssl, ragel' package(s) on Mageia 3.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
4.3

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
