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-2019-2308 advisory.

- An integer underflow issue exists in ntfs-3g 2017.3.23. A local attacker could potentially exploit this by running /bin/ntfs-3g with specially crafted arguments from a specially crafted directory to cause a heap buffer overflow, resulting in a crash or the ability to execute arbitrary code. In installations where /bin/ntfs-3g is a setuid-root binary, this could lead to a local escalation of privileges. (CVE-2019-9755)

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 libguestfs-winsupport package.
