UDisks 2.8.0 has a format string vulnerability in udisks_log in udiskslogging.c, allowing attackers to obtain sensitive information (stack contents), cause a denial of service (memory corruption), or possibly have unspecified other impact via a malformed filesystem label, as demonstrated by %d or %n substrings.

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2019-2178 advisory.

  - UDisks 2.8.0 has a format string vulnerability in udisks_log in udiskslogging.c, allowing attackers to     obtain sensitive information (stack contents), cause a denial of service (memory corruption), or possibly     have unspecified other impact via a malformed filesystem label, as demonstrated by %d or %n substrings.
    (CVE-2018-17336)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has udisks2 packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

  - UDisks 2.8.0 has a format string vulnerability in     udisks_log in udiskslogging.c, allowing attackers to     obtain sensitive information (stack contents), cause a     denial of service (memory corruption), or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a malformed filesystem     label, as demonstrated by %d or %n substrings.

An uncontrolled format string vulnerability has been discovered in udisks when it mounts a filesystem with a malformed label. A local attacker may use this flaw to leak memory, make the udisks service crash, or cause other unspecified effects.(CVE-2018-17336)

According to the version of the udisks2 packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - UDisks 2.8.0 has a format string vulnerability in     udisks_log in udiskslogging.c, allowing attackers to     obtain sensitive information (stack contents), cause a     denial of service (memory corruption), or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a malformed filesystem     label, as demonstrated by %d or %n     substrings.(CVE-2018-17336)
