openSUSE 15 Security Update : civetweb (openSUSE-SU-2021:1424-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 154757

Language:

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2021:1424-1 advisory.

 - The CivetWeb web library does not validate uploaded filepaths when running on an OS other than Windows, when using the built-in HTTP form-based file upload mechanism, via the mg_handle_form_request API. Web applications that use the file upload form handler, and use parts of the user-controlled filename in the output path, are susceptible to directory traversal (CVE-2020-27304)

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 civetweb, civetweb-devel, libcivetweb-cpp1_15_0 and / or libcivetweb1_15_0 packages.
