high Nessus Plugin ID 239213

Synopsis

The remote TencentOS Server 3 host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0090 advisory.

Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

CVE-2023-45230:
A security flaw was identified in EDK2, the open-source reference implementation of the UEFI specification, involving a buffer overflow vulnerability. This particular weakness enables an unauthorized attacker within the vicinity of the network to transmit a specifically crafted DHCPv6 message. This, in turn, could result in an information disclosure and compromise the availability of the system.

CVE-2023-45234:
A security weakness was identified in EDK2, the open-source reference implementation of the UEFI specification, revealing a buffer overflow vulnerability. This vulnerability enables an unauthorized attacker within proximity on the network to transmit a specifically crafted DHCPv6 Advertise message. As a consequence, it results in the unauthorized disclosure of information and jeopardizes the availability of the system.

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.
