EulerOS 2.0 SP12 : libcap (EulerOS-SA-2025-1594)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 238174

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

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

 The PAM module pam_cap.so of libcap configuration supports group names starting with @, during actual parsing, configurations not starting with @ are incorrectly recognized as group names. This may result in nonintended users being granted an inherited capability set, potentially leading to security risks. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to achieve local privilege escalation on systems where /etc/security/capability.conf is used to configure user inherited privileges by constructing specific usernames.(CVE-2025-1390)

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

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 libcap packages.
