MDKSA-2004:147: openssl Vulnerability Scan


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.
