High Nessus Plugin ID 110873
Synopsis
The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.
Description
According to the version of the zsh package installed, the EulerOS
installation on the remote host is affected by the following
vulnerability :
- A buffer overflow flaw was found in the zsh shell
auto-complete functionality. A local, unprivileged user
can create a specially crafted directory path which
leads to code execution in the context of the user who
tries to use auto-complete to traverse the before
mentioned path. If the user affected is privileged,
this leads to privilege escalation.(CVE-2018-1083)
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues.
Solution
Update the affected zsh package.
