"The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2014-607:06 advisory.

    Description :
    The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by
    multiple programs on the system. In order to save disk space and
    memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is
    kept in one place and shared between programs. This particular package
    contains the most important sets of shared libraries: the standard C
    library and the standard math library. Without these two libraries, a
    Linux system will not function.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2013-4237
    sysdeps/posix/readdir_r.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.18 and earlier allows context-
    dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and crash) or possibly execute
    arbitrary code via a crafted (1) NTFS or (2) CIFS image.
    CVE-2013-4458
    Stack-based buffer overflow in the getaddrinfo function in sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c in GNU C Library
    (aka glibc or libc6) 2.18 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a
    (1) hostname or (2) IP address that triggers a large number of AF_INET6 address results. NOTE: this
    vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-1914.
    Fixed bugs and Enhancement;
    These updated glibc packages also include several bug fixes and two enhancements.
    Please see changelog for more information.

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.");
