EulerOS 2.0 SP10 : byacc (EulerOS-SA-2023-1520)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 172688

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the byacc packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - When processing files, malloc stores the data of the current line. When processing comments, malloc incorrectly accesses the released memory (use after free). (CVE-2021-33641)

 - When a file is processed, an infinite loop occurs in next_inline() of the more_curly() function.
 (CVE-2021-33642)

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 byacc packages.
