Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2021:3042 advisory.

- rust: optimization for joining strings can cause uninitialized bytes to be exposed (CVE-2020-36323)

- rust: heap-based buffer overflow in read_to_end() because it does not validate the return value from Read in an unsafe context (CVE-2021-28875)

- rust: panic safety issue in Zip implementation (CVE-2021-28876)

- rust: memory safety violation in Zip implementation for nested iter::Zips (CVE-2021-28877)

- rust: memory safety violation in Zip implementation when next_back() and next() are used together (CVE-2021-28878)

- rust: integer overflow in the Zip implementation can lead to a buffer overflow (CVE-2021-28879)

- rust: double free in Vec::from_iter function if freeing the element panics (CVE-2021-31162)

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
