"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the RHSA-2011:0423 advisory.

    Postfix is a Mail Transport Agent (MTA), supporting LDAP, SMTP AUTH (SASL),
    and TLS.

    It was discovered that Postfix did not flush the received SMTP commands
    buffer after switching to TLS encryption for an SMTP session. A
    man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to inject SMTP commands into
    a victim's session during the plain text phase. This would lead to those
    commands being processed by Postfix after TLS encryption is enabled,
    possibly allowing the attacker to steal the victim's mail or authentication
    credentials. (CVE-2011-0411)

    Red Hat would like to thank the CERT/CC for reporting CVE-2011-0411. The
    CERT/CC acknowledges Wietse Venema as the original reporter.

    Users of Postfix are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
    contain a backported patch to resolve this issue. After installing this
    update, the postfix service will be restarted automatically.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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