EulerOS 2.0 SP5 : patch (EulerOS-SA-2019-1982)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 129176

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the patch package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - GNU patch 2.7.1 allows remote attackers to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack in a patch file.(CVE-2015-1196)

 - 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)

 - A heap-based out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the way the patch utility parsed patch files. An attacker could potentially use this flaw to crash the patch utility by tricking it into processing crafted patch files.(CVE-2016-10713)

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 patch packages.
