Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2015.0212
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2015-0212)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'async-http-client' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0212 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'async-http-client' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0212 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Updated async-http-client packages fix security vulnerabilities:

It was found that async-http-client would disable SSL/TLS certificate
verification under certain conditions, for example if HTTPS communication also
uses client certificates. This can be exploited by a Man-in-the-middle (MITM)
attack where the attacker can spoof a valid certificate (CVE-2013-7397).

It was found that async-http-client did not verify that the server hostname
matched the domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName
field in X.509 certificates. This could allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to
spoof an SSL server if they had a certificate that was valid for any domain
name (CVE-2013-7398).

Affected Software/OS:
'async-http-client' package(s) on Mageia 4.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
