EulerOS 2.0 SP5 : ppp (EulerOS-SA-2019-1987)

high Nessus Plugin ID 129181

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the ppp package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - Integer overflow in the getword function in options.c in pppd in Paul's PPP Package (ppp) before 2.4.7 allows attackers to 'access privileged options' via a long word in an options file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow that '[corrupts] security-relevant variables.'(CVE-2014-3158)

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 ppp package.
