NewStart CGSL MAIN 7.02 : util-linux Vulnerability (NS-SA-2025-0198)

low Nessus Plugin ID 242725

Synopsis

The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has util-linux packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

 - wall in util-linux through 2.40, often installed with setgid tty permissions, allows escape sequences to be sent to other users' terminals through argv. (Specifically, escape sequences received from stdin are blocked, but escape sequences received from argv are not blocked.) There may be plausible scenarios where this leads to account takeover. (CVE-2024-28085)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the vulnerable CGSL util-linux packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
