critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 401162

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- GNU Bash through 4.3 bash43-025 processes trailing strings after certain malformed function definitions in
the values of environment variables, which allows remote attackers to write to files or possibly have
unknown other impact via a crafted environment, as demonstrated by vectors involving the ForceCommand
feature in OpenSSH sshd, the mod_cgi and mod_cgid modules in the Apache HTTP Server, scripts executed by
unspecified DHCP clients, and other situations in which setting the environment occurs across a privilege
boundary from Bash execution. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for
CVE-2014-6271. (CVE-2014-7169)
