TencentOS Server 4: libarchive (TSSA-2024:0172)

high Nessus Plugin ID 238918

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-2024:0172 advisory.

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

CVE-2024-37407:
Libarchive before 3.7.4 allows name out-of-bounds access when a ZIP archive has an empty-name file and mac-ext is enabled. This occurs in slurp_central_directory in archive_read_support_format_zip.c.

CVE-2024-20696:
Windows libarchive Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

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.
