EulerOS 2.0 SP2 : guile (EulerOS-SA-2019-2424)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 131578

Language:

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

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

 - The mkdir procedure of GNU Guile temporarily changed the process' umask to zero. During that time window, in a multithreaded application, other threads could end up creating files with insecure permissions. For example, mkdir without the optional mode argument would create directories as 0777. This is fixed in Guile 2.0.13.
 Prior versions are affected.(CVE-2016-8605)

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 guile package.
