Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 : 0041: elfutils (ALINUX3-SA-2022:0041)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 236512

Synopsis

The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALINUX3-SA-2022:0041 advisory.

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

 CVE-2019-7146:
 In elfutils 0.175, there is a buffer over-read in the ebl_object_note function in eblobjnote.c in libebl.
 Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial-of-service via a crafted elf file, as demonstrated by eu-readelf.

 CVE-2019-7149:
 A heap-based buffer over-read was discovered in the function read_srclines in dwarf_getsrclines.c in libdw in elfutils 0.175. A crafted input can cause segmentation faults, leading to denial-of-service, as demonstrated by eu-nm.

 CVE-2019-7150:
 An issue was discovered in elfutils 0.175. A segmentation fault can occur in the function elf64_xlatetom in libelf/elf32_xlatetom.c, due to dwfl_segment_report_module not checking whether the dyn data read from a core file is truncated. A crafted input can cause a program crash, leading to denial-of-service, as demonstrated by eu-stack.

 CVE-2019-7664:
 In elfutils 0.175, a negative-sized memcpy is attempted in elf_cvt_note in libelf/note_xlate.h because of an incorrect overflow check. Crafted elf input causes a segmentation fault, leading to denial of service (program crash).

 CVE-2019-7665:
 In elfutils 0.175, a heap-based buffer over-read was discovered in the function elf32_xlatetom in elf32_xlatetom.c in libelf. A crafted ELF input can cause a segmentation fault leading to denial of service (program crash) because ebl_core_note does not reject malformed core file notes.

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 packages.
