TencentOS Server 4: sane-backends (TSSA-2024:0303)

high Nessus Plugin ID 238564

Synopsis

The remote TencentOS Server 4 host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0303 advisory.

Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

CVE-2023-46052:
Sane 1.2.1 heap bounds overwrite in init_options() from backend/test.c via a long init_mode string in a configuration file. NOTE: this is disputed because there is no expectation that test.c code should be executed with an attacker-controlled configuration file.

CVE-2023-46047:
An issue in Sane 1.2.1 allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted file to the sanei_configure_attach() function. NOTE: this is disputed because there is no expectation that the product should be starting with an attacker-controlled configuration file.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent 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.
