Description

The susehelp package contained a bug which allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as wwwrun user. This has been fixed. Certain ACL entries have been added too, so that the susehelp CGI scripts cannot ne invoked from outside anymore.

Solution(s)

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
