Photon OS 3.0: Rust PHSA-2021-3.0-0288

critical Nessus Plugin ID 152794

Synopsis

The remote PhotonOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

An update of the rust package has been released.

- library/std/src/net/parser.rs in Rust before 1.53.0 does not properly consider extraneous zero characters at the beginning of an IP address string, which (in some situations) allows attackers to bypass access control that is based on IP addresses, because of unexpected octal interpretation. (CVE-2021-29922)

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

Solution

Update the affected Linux packages.
