EulerOS Virtualization 2.9.0 : glib2 (EulerOS-SA-2023-2982)

high Nessus Plugin ID 188700

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the glib2 package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 It was discovered that GLib incorrectly handled non-normal GVariants. An attacker could use this issue to cause GLib to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or perform other unknown attacks. Update Instructions: Run `sudo pro fix USN-6165-1` to fix the vulnerability. The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: libglib2.0-0 2.64.6-1~ubuntu20.04.6 libglib2.0-data 2.64.6-1~ubuntu20.04.6 libglib2.0-tests 2.64.6-1~ubuntu20.04.6 libglib2.0-doc 2.64.6-1~ubuntu20.04.6 libglib2.0-bin 2.64.6-1~ubuntu20.04.6 libglib2.0-dev-bin 2.64.6-1~ubuntu20.04.6 libglib2.0-dev 2.64.6-1~ubuntu20.04.6 No subscription required(CVE-2023-32665)

 The upstream bug report describes this issue as follows:A vulnerability was found in GLib2.0, where DoS caused by handling a malicious text-form variant which is structured to cause looping superlinear to its text size. Applications are at risk if they parse untrusted text-form variants.(CVE-2023-25180)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS Virtualization glib2 security advisory.

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 glib2 packages.
