Vulnerability Scan Summary Check for the version of the openssl package
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2004:147 (openssl).
The Trustix developers found that the der_chop script, included in the openssl
package, created temporary files insecurely. This could allow local users to
overwrite files using a symlink attack.
The updated packages have been patched to prevent this problem.
