Details
Systems need to have package manager repositories properly configured to ensure they receive the latest patches and updates.
Rationale:
If a system’s package manager repositories are misconfigured, important patches may not be identified, or a rogue repository could introduce compromised software.
NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.
Solution
Configure your package manager repositories according to your vendor.
