Rule:

--
Sid:

1167

--
Summary:

This event is generated when an attempt is made to gain information on installed packages on OpenLINUX.

--
Impact:

This is a serious information leak, since an attack could then attempt to determine and exploit any vulnerable packages.


--
Detailed Information:

The OpenLinux CGI package comes with a script called rpm_query. A 
vulnerability exists which will allow a remote user to list all
packages/versions installed on the system. This information will be 
useful for an attacker to further compromise a system.


--
Affected Systems:

	OpenLinux Desktop 2.3        
        OpenLinux eServer 2.3        

--
Attack Scenarios:

GET http://target/cgi-bin/rpm_query HTTP/1.0

--
Ease of Attack:

Simple.

--
False Positives:

None known.

--
False Negatives:

None known.

--
Corrective Action:

Remove the package (/home/httpd/cgi-bin/rpm_query)   

Upgrade to the latest version of OpenLinux (2.3-17 or later),
