Synopsis

The remote host has software installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote host has a version of Cisco AnyConnect < 3.0 MR8.
Such versions are affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - The HostScan VPN downloader implementation does not compare timestamps of offered software to install with currently installed software, which may allow remote attackers to downgrade the software via ActiveX or Java components. (CVE-2012-2495)

 - Man-in-the-middle attacks are possible even when the ASA is configured with a legitimate certificate.
 (CVE-2012-2498)

 - No certificate name checking is performed when using IPsec as the tunnel protocol, which could result in man-in-the-middle attacks. (CVE-2012-2499)

 - Certificate names are not verified during WebLaunch of IPsec, which could result in man-in-the-middle attacks. (CVE-2012-2500)

Solution

Upgrade to Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 3.0 MR8 or greater.
