A flaw was found in libtpms. The flaw can be triggered by specially-crafted TPM 2 command packets containing illegal values and may lead to an out-of-bounds access when the volatile state of the TPM 2 is marshalled/written or unmarshalled/read. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2022:0274 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

      CVE-2021-3746:
      A flaw was found in the libtpms code that may cause access beyond the boundary of internal buffers. The     vulnerability is triggered by specially-crafted TPM2 command packets that then trigger the issue when the     state of the TPM2's volatile state is written. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system     availability. This issue affects libtpms versions before 0.8.5, before 0.7.9 and before 0.6.6.

      CVE-2021-3623:
      A flaw was found in libtpms. The flaw can be triggered by specially-crafted TPM 2 command packets     containing illegal values and may lead to an out-of-bounds access when the volatile state of the TPM 2 is     marshalled/written or unmarshalled/read. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system     availability.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

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