"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2010-193:01 advisory.

    The Sendmail program is a very widely used Mail Transport Agent (MTA). MTAs send mail from one machine to
    another. Sendmail is not a client program, which you use to read your email. Sendmail is a behind-the-
    scenes program which actually moves your email over networks or the Internet to where you want it to go.
    If you ever need to reconfigure Sendmail, you will also need to have the sendmail.cf package installed. If
    you need documentation on Sendmail, you can install the sendmail-doc package.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2006-7176
    The version of Sendmail 8.13.1-2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 4 and earlier does not reject the
    'localhost.localdomain' domain name for e-mail messages that come from external hosts, which might allow
    remote attackers to spoof messages.
    CVE-2009-4565
    sendmail before 8.14.4 does not properly handle a '0' character in a Common Name (CN) field of an X.509
    certificate, which (1) allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL-based SMTP servers via a
    crafted server certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority, and (2) allows remote attackers
    to bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted client certificate issued by a legitimate
    Certification Authority, a related issue to CVE-2009-2408.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
