EulerOS Virtualization 3.0.1.0 : squashfs-tools (EulerOS-SA-2019-1459)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 124962

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the squashfs-tools package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- Integer overflow in the queue_init function in unsquashfs.c in unsquashfs in Squashfs 4.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted block_log field in the superblock of a .sqsh file, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.(CVE-2012-4025)

- Stack-based buffer overflow in the get_component function in unsquashfs.c in unsquashfs in Squashfs 4.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted list file (aka a crafted file for the -ef option). NOTE: probably in most cases, the list file is a trusted file constructed by the program's user however, there are some realistic situations in which a list file would be obtained from an untrusted remote source.(CVE-2012-4024)

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 squashfs-tools packages.
