Echo: abseil: security update to 20220623.1-1-e1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 461282

Description

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

 - There exists a heap buffer overflow vulnerable in Abseil-cpp. The sized constructors, reserve(), and
 rehash() methods of absl::{flat,node}hash{set,map} did not impose an upper bound on their size argument.
 As a result, it was possible for a caller to pass a very large size that would cause an integer overflow
 when computing the size of the container's backing store, and a subsequent out-of-bounds memory write.
 Subsequent accesses to the container might also access out-of-bounds memory. We recommend upgrading past
 commit 5a0e2cb5e3958dd90bb8569a2766622cb74d90c1 (CVE-2025-0838)

Solution

Update the abseil library and its related packages to version 20220623.1-1-e1 or later.
