Security Issues and Fixes: 140.211.166.115
Type Port Issue and Fix
Informational smtp (25/tcp) An SMTP server is running on this port
Here is its banner :
220 nessus.osuosl.org ESMTP Postfix
Nessus ID : 10330
Informational smtp (25/tcp)
Synopsis :

An SMTP server is listening on the remote port.

Description :

The remote host is running a mail (SMTP) server on this port.

Since SMTP servers are the targets of spammers, it is recommended you
disable it if you do not use it.

Solution :

Disable this service if you do not use it, or filter incoming traffic
to this port.

Risk factor :

None

Plugin output :

Remote SMTP server banner :
220 nessus.osuosl.org ESMTP Postfix
Nessus ID : 10263
Warning general/tcp
Synopsis :

The remote operating system contains obsolete software

Description :

The remote Gentoo system contains several packages or versions
which have been marked as obsolete and have been removed from
the portage tree.
These versions are therefore unmaintained, which means that if
any security flaw is found in them, no patch will be made
available.

In addition to this, these packages might break after a library
upgrade and it will be impossible to recompile them.

Solution:

Remove or upgrade those packages.

Risk factor :

Medium / CVSS Base Score : 6
