EulerOS Virtualization 3.0.2.6 : squashfs-tools (EulerOS-SA-2021-2904)

high Nessus Plugin ID 156505

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

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

 - squashfs_opendir in unsquash-1.c in Squashfs-Tools 4.5 stores the filename in the directory entry; this is then used by unsquashfs to create the new file during the unsquash. The filename is not validated for traversal outside of the destination directory, and thus allows writing to locations outside of the destination. (CVE-2021-40153)

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 squashfs-tools packages.
