FreeBSD : p7zip -- usage of uninitialized memory (942fff11-5ac4-11ec-89ea-c85b76ce9b5a)

high Nessus Plugin ID 184464

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 942fff11-5ac4-11ec-89ea-c85b76ce9b5a advisory.

 - Incorrect initialization logic of RAR decoder objects in 7-Zip 18.03 and before can lead to usage of uninitialized memory, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted RAR archive. (CVE-2018-10115)

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 packages.
