high Nessus Plugin ID 142066

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

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

- An issue was discovered in mgetty before 1.2.1. In fax/faxq-helper.c, the function do_activate() does not properly sanitize shell metacharacters to prevent command injection. It is possible to use the ||, &&, or > characters within a file created by the 'faxq-helper activate ' command.(CVE-2018-16741)

- An issue was discovered in mgetty before 1.2.1. In fax_notify_mail() in faxrec.c, the mail_to parameter is not sanitized. It could allow for command injection if untrusted input can reach it, because popen is used.(CVE-2018-16744)

- An issue was discovered in mgetty before 1.2.1. In fax_notify_mail() in faxrec.c, the mail_to parameter is not sanitized. It could allow a buffer overflow if long untrusted input can reach it.(CVE-2018-16745)

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 mgetty packages.
