Alpine: multiple patch packages: security update to 2.7.4-r0 (deprecated)
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 401165
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:- GNU patch 2.7.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and
segmentation fault) via a crafted diff file. (CVE-2014-9637)
- Directory traversal vulnerability in GNU patch versions which support Git-style patching before 2.7.3
allows remote attackers to write to arbitrary files with the permissions of the target user via a .. (dot
dot) in a diff file name. (CVE-2015-1395)
- A Directory Traversal vulnerability exists in the GNU patch before 2.7.4. A remote attacker can write to
arbitrary files via a symlink attack in a patch file. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix
for CVE-2015-1196. (CVE-2015-1396)
