Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the iptables packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

- A buffer overflow in iptables-restore in netfilter iptables 1.8.2 allows an attacker to (at least) crash the program or potentially gain code execution via a specially crafted iptables-save file. This is related to add_param_to_argv in xshared.c.(CVE-2019-11360)

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.
