Detect the presence of DistCC Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : A distributed compiler is listening on the remote port. Description : The remote host is running distcc, a distributed GCC compiler. distcc permits a user to use the resources several hosts to compile his programs more quickly. As distcc permits anyone to execute arbitrary commands on the remote host, it should be configured to only accept connections from a restricted set of IP addresses, otherwise a possible hacker can use it to obtain an interactive shell on the remote host, with the rights of the distcc daemon (usually 'distccd') Solution : Filter incoming traffic to this port, or use the '-a' option switch to restrict the set of IP addresses distcc will accept.
