Synopsis
The remote Oracle Linux host is missing a security update.Description
The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2023-12331 advisory.- Spacewalk 2.10, and derivatives such as Uyuni 2021.08, allows code injection. rhn-config-satellite.pl doesn't sanitize the configuration filename used to append Spacewalk-specific key-value pair. The script is intended to be run by the tomcat user account with Sudo, according to the installation setup. This can lead to the ability of an attacker to use --option to append arbitrary code to a root-owned file that eventually will be executed by the system. This is fixed in Uyuni spacewalk-admin 4.3.2-1.
(CVE-2021-40348)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
