Personally I would go round to that particular vendors office with a pipe
wrench and encourage them to do better however, unless this software is
transmitting credit card information then it seems that you could be
safe(ish) from the regulation standpoint. It really depends on the location
of the machine. Is it deep in the bowels of your high security nuclear
bunker on an air gap network or is is merrily accepting incoming traffic
from China? Is the software is using an appropriate SELinux policy or is it
running unconfined or with SELinux turned off?
It seems the PCI-DSS describe a set of simple rules to get IT managers
thinking but they are somewhat open to interpretation. Are you abiding to
the spirit of the regulations?
The particular software requiring 0.9.8 is performing backups of the
system to a remote data center.
My concern is that, with the compatibility package installed, could this
present vulnerabilities or compliance problems in Apache?
