TencentOS Server 4: systemd (TSSA-2025:0052)

high Nessus Plugin ID 239154

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-2025:0052 advisory.

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

CVE-2023-31439:
An issue was discovered in systemd 253. An attacker can modify the contents of past events in a sealed log file and then adjust the file such that checking the integrity shows no error, despite modifications.
NOTE: the vendor reportedly sent a reply denying that any of the finding was a security vulnerability.

CVE-2023-31438:
An issue was discovered in systemd 253. An attacker can truncate a sealed log file and then resume log sealing such that checking the integrity shows no error, despite modifications. NOTE: the vendor reportedly sent a reply denying that any of the finding was a security 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.
