The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  • libdb: Reads DB_CONFIG from the current working directory (CVE-2017-10140)

  • Vulnerability in the Data Store component of Oracle Berkeley DB. Supported versions that are affected are Prior to 6.138, prior to 6.2.38 and prior to 18.1.32. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker having Local Logon privilege with logon to the infrastructure where Data Store executes to compromise Data Store. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Data Store. (CVE-2019-2708)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager’s report that the package is installed.
