Amazon Linux AMI : 389-ds-base (ALAS-2013-184)

low Nessus Plugin ID 69743

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux AMI host is missing a security update.

Description

It was found that the 389 Directory Server did not properly restrict access to entries when the 'nsslapd-allow-anonymous-access' configuration setting was set to 'rootdse'. An anonymous user could connect to the LDAP database and, if the search scope is set to BASE, obtain access to information outside of the rootDSE. (CVE-2013-1897)

Solution

Run 'yum update 389-ds-base' to update your system.
