| Description: |
Synopsis :
The remote service is prone to information disclosure.
Description :
The remote host is running a 'finger' service that suffers from an
information disclosure vulnerability. Specifically, it allows an
unauthenticated attacker to display a list of accounts on the remote
host that have never been used. This list can help an attacker to
guess the operating system type and also focus his attacks.
Solution :
Filter access to this port, upgrade the finger server, or disable it
entirely.
Risk factor :
Medium / CVSS Base Score : 5.0
(CVSS2#AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)
