"The remote MiracleLinux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
AXSA:2024-7682:03 advisory.
* A vulnerability was found in Unbound due to incorrect default permissions,
allowing any process outside the unbound group to modify the unbound runtime
configuration. The default combination of the control-use-cert: no option with
either explicit or implicit use of an IP address in the control-interface
option could allow improper access. If a process can connect over localhost to
port 8953, it can alter the configuration of unbound.service. This flaw allows
an unprivileged local process to manipulate a running instance, potentially
altering forwarders, allowing them to track all queries forwarded by the local
resolver, and, in some cases, disrupting resolving altogether.
To mitigate the vulnerability, a new file
/etc/unbound/conf.d/remote-control.conf has been added and included in the
main unbound configuration file, unbound.conf. The file contains two
directives that should limit access to unbound.conf:
control-interface: /run/unbound/control
control-use-cert: yes
For details about these directives, run man unbound.conf.
Updating to the version of unbound provided by this advisory should, in most
cases, address the vulnerability. To verify that your configuration is not
vulnerable, use the unbound-control status | grep control command. If the
output contains control(ssl) or control(namedpipe), your configuration is
not vulnerable. If the command output returns only control, the configuration
is vulnerable because it does not enforce access only to the unbound group
members. To fix your configuration, add the line include:
/etc/unbound/conf.d/remote-control.conf to the end of the file
/etc/unbound/unbound.conf. If you use a custom
/etc/unbound/conf.d/remote-control.conf file, add the new directives to this
file. (CVE-2024-1488)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
