Buffer overflow in text-utils/colcrt.c in colcrt in util-linux before 2.27 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file, related to the page global variable.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Buffer overflow in text-utils/colcrt.c in colcrt in util-linux before 2.27 allows local users to cause a     denial of service (crash) via a crafted file, related to the page global variable. (CVE-2015-5218)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

According to the version of the util-linux package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - Buffer overflow in text-utils/colcrt.c in colcrt in     util-linux before 2.27 allows local users to cause a     denial of service (crash) via a crafted file, related     to the page global variable.(CVE-2015-5218)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
