In all versions of libyang before 1.0-r5, a stack-based buffer overflow was discovered in the way libyang parses YANG files with a leaf of type "bits". An application that uses libyang to parse untrusted YANG files may be vulnerable to this flaw, which would allow an attacker to cause a denial of service or possibly gain code execution.

The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALINUX3-SA-2022:0076 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2019-19333:
    In all versions of libyang before 1.0-r5, a stack-based buffer overflow was discovered in the way libyang     parses YANG files with a leaf of type bits. An application that uses libyang to parse untrusted YANG     files may be vulnerable to this flaw, which would allow an attacker to cause a denial of service or     possibly gain code execution.

    CVE-2019-19334:
    In all versions of libyang before 1.0-r5, a stack-based buffer overflow was discovered in the way libyang     parses YANG files with a leaf of type identityref. An application that uses libyang to parse untrusted     YANG files may be vulnerable to this flaw, which would allow an attacker to cause a denial of service or     possibly gain code execution.

The remote CentOS Linux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the CESA-2019:4360 advisory.

  - libyang: stack-based buffer overflow in make_canonical when bits leaf type is used (CVE-2019-19333)

  - libyang: stack-based buffer overflow in make_canonical when identityref leaf type is used (CVE-2019-19334)

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2019:4360 advisory.

    The libyang package provides a library for YANG data modeling language. libyang is a YANG data modelling     language parser and toolkit written (and providing API) in C. The library is used e.g. in libnetconf2,     Netopeer2, sysrepo and FRRouting projects.

    Security Fix(es):

    * libyang: stack-based buffer overflow in make_canonical when bits leaf type is used (CVE-2019-19333)

    * libyang: stack-based buffer overflow in make_canonical when identityref leaf type is used     (CVE-2019-19334)

    IMPORTANT:

    The libyang-devel sub-package has recently been removed from the AppStream repository. If you have     previously installed libyang-devel, remove it prior to applying this advisory to make the update     successful.
