EulerOS 2.0 SP5 : glib2 (EulerOS-SA-2021-2215)
medium Nessus Plugin ID 151773
Synopsis
The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.Description
According to the version of the glib2 packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :- An issue was discovered in GNOME GLib before 2.66.8.
When g_file_replace() is used with G_FILE_CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION to replace a path that is a dangling symlink, it incorrectly also creates the target of the symlink as an empty file, which could conceivably have security relevance if the symlink is attacker-controlled. (If the path is a symlink to a file that already exists, then the contents of that file correctly remain unchanged.)(CVE-2021-28153)
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 glib2 package.See Also
