Avg internet security

Hello Richard,

May I know if the scan ran directly against your machine?

As the results seems to be connected to the router/modem related tests.

Thank you for the information, Richard. 

The detected vulnerability is this one https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-7487. It's from 2017 and connected to the Linux kernel which suggests it's modem related. I'd recommend verifying it with the modem manufacturer or raising false positive to the report provider.

Richard,
Have you performed online scan? Provide us the screenshot https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlName=How-to-create-a-screenshot&supportType=home of the report you received to have better understanding.

I recently failed a PCI DSS security scan. The report being "it is possible to bypass firewall rules".

Any ideas?

The scan was carried out over the internet, so I presume that the modem was included. This is the first scan that has ever failed, but there has been nothing changed in the installion!

Thanks

I don't hs#ave a screen shot, I have a printout, which I can scan, but there does not appear to be any way to attach it!
