high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 400796
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:- The get_next_block function in archival/libarchive/decompress_bunzip2.c in BusyBox 1.27.2 has an Integer
Overflow that may lead to a write access violation. (CVE-2017-15873)
- archival/libarchive/decompress_unlzma.c in BusyBox 1.27.2 has an Integer Underflow that leads to a read
access violation. (CVE-2017-15874)
- In the add_match function in libbb/lineedit.c in BusyBox through 1.27.2, the tab autocomplete feature of
the shell, used to get a list of filenames in a directory, does not sanitize filenames and results in
executing any escape sequence in the terminal. This could potentially result in code execution, arbitrary
file writes, or other attacks. (CVE-2017-16544)
