NewStart CGSL MAIN 6.02 : cryptsetup Vulnerability (NS-SA-2021-0087)

high Nessus Plugin ID 147249

Language:

Synopsis

The remote machine is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has cryptsetup packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

 - A vulnerability was found in upstream release cryptsetup-2.2.0 where, there's a bug in LUKS2 format validation code, that is effectively invoked on every device/image presenting itself as LUKS2 container.
 The bug is in segments validation code in file 'lib/luks2/luks2_json_metadata.c' in function hdr_validate_segments(struct crypt_device *cd, json_object *hdr_jobj) where the code does not check for possible overflow on memory allocation used for intervals array (see statement intervals = malloc(first_backup * sizeof(*intervals));). Due to the bug, library can be *tricked* to expect such allocation was successful but for far less memory then originally expected. Later it may read data FROM image crafted by an attacker and actually write such data BEYOND allocated memory. (CVE-2020-14382)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the vulnerable CGSL cryptsetup packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
