Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 : 0074: virt:rhel (ALINUX3-SA-2022:0074)

high Nessus Plugin ID 236501

Synopsis

The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALINUX3-SA-2022:0074 advisory.

Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

CVE-2019-12155:
interface_release_resource in hw/display/qxl.c in QEMU 3.1.x through 4.0.0 has a NULL pointer dereference.

CVE-2019-9755:
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-2019-9824:
tcp_emu in slirp/tcp_subr.c (aka slirp/src/tcp_subr.c) in QEMU 3.0.0 uses uninitialized data in an snprintf call, leading to Information disclosure.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux 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 libguestfs-winsupport package.
