Echo: libffi: security update to 3.2.1-4

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 460700

Description

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

 - libffi requests an executable stack allowing attackers to more easily trigger arbitrary code execution by
 overwriting the stack. Please note that libffi is used by a number of other libraries. It was previously
 stated that this affects libffi version 3.2.1 but this appears to be incorrect. libffi prior to version
 3.1 on 32 bit x86 systems was vulnerable, and upstream is believed to have fixed this issue in version
 3.1. (CVE-2017-1000376)

Solution

Update the libffi library and its related packages to version 3.2.1-4 or later.
