| Detailed Description |
The version of OpenSSL installed on the remote host is prior to 1.0.2ze. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 1.0.2ze advisory.
- The c_rehash script does not properly sanitise shell metacharacters to prevent command injection. This script is distributed by some operating systems in a manner where it is automatically executed. On such operating systems, an attacker could execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the script. Use of the c_rehash script is considered obsolete and should be replaced by the OpenSSL rehash command line tool.
