openSUSE 15 Security Update : nbd (SUSE-SU-2022:1276-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 170211

Language:

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote openSUSE 15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:1276-1 advisory.

- In nbd-server in nbd before 3.24, there is an integer overflow with a resultant heap-based buffer overflow. A value of 0xffffffff in the name length field will cause a zero-sized buffer to be allocated for the name, resulting in a write to a dangling pointer. This issue exists for the NBD_OPT_INFO, NBD_OPT_GO, and NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME messages. (CVE-2022-26495)

- In nbd-server in nbd before 3.24, there is a stack-based buffer overflow. An attacker can cause a buffer overflow in the parsing of the name field by sending a crafted NBD_OPT_INFO or NBD_OPT_GO message with an large value as the length of the name. (CVE-2022-26496)

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 nbd package.
