TencentOS Server 4: opensc (TSSA-2024:0441)

high Nessus Plugin ID 238835

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-2024:0441 advisory.

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

CVE-2023-5992:
A vulnerability was found in OpenSC where PKCS#1 encryption padding removal is not implemented as side- channel resistant. This issue may result in the potential leak of private data.

CVE-2024-1454:
The use-after-free vulnerability was found in the AuthentIC driver in OpenSC packages, occuring in the card enrolment process using pkcs15-init when a user or administrator enrols or modifies cards. An attacker must have physical access to the computer system and requires a crafted USB device or smart card to present the system with specially crafted responses to the APDUs, which are considered high complexity and low severity. This manipulation can allow for compromised card management operations during enrolment.

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.
