high Nessus Plugin ID 139954
Synopsis
The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.Description
According to the versions of the gnuplot packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :- An issue was discovered in datafile.c in Gnuplot 5.2.5.
This issue allows an attacker to conduct a heap-based buffer overflow with an arbitrary amount of data in df_generate_ascii_array_entry. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must pass an overlong string as the right bound of the range argument that is passed to the plot function.(CVE-2018-19490)
- An issue was discovered in post.trm in Gnuplot 5.2.5.
This issue allows an attacker to conduct a buffer overflow with an arbitrary amount of data in the PS_options function. This flaw is caused by a missing size check of an argument passed to the 'set font' function. This issue occurs when the Gnuplot postscript terminal is used as a backend.(CVE-2018-19491)
- An issue was discovered in cairo.trm in Gnuplot 5.2.5.
This issue allows an attacker to conduct a buffer overflow with an arbitrary amount of data in the cairotrm_options function. This flaw is caused by a missing size check of an argument passed to the 'set font' function. This issue occurs when the Gnuplot pngcairo terminal is used as a backend.(CVE-2018-19492)
