Description

The system is missing one or more SuSE security patches. xmlstarlet is linked statically against libxml2 and thus it inherited buffer overflows from the library. This update fixes several buffer overflows that can occur while processing FTP and HTTP URLs as well as in DNS name handling code. These bugs can be exploited remotely to execute arbitrary code.

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.
