EulerOS Virtualization 2.9.0 : zstd (EulerOS-SA-2021-2201)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 151540

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

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

- Beginning in v1.4.1 and prior to v1.4.9, due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2021-24031, the Zstandard command-line utility created output files with default permissions and restricted those permissions immediately afterwards. Output files could therefore momentarily be readable or writable to unintended parties.(CVE-2021-24032)

- In the Zstandard command-line utility prior to v1.4.1, output files were created with default permissions.
Correct file permissions (matching the input) would only be set at completion time. Output files could therefore be readable or writable to unintended parties.(CVE-2021-24031)

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 zstd packages.
