NewStart CGSL MAIN 7.02 : less Vulnerability (NS-SA-2025-0106)

high Nessus Plugin ID 242752

Synopsis

The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

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

 - less through 653 allows OS command execution via a newline character in the name of a file, because quoting is mishandled in filename.c. Exploitation typically requires use with attacker-controlled file names, such as the files extracted from an untrusted archive. Exploitation also requires the LESSOPEN environment variable, but this is set by default in many common cases. (CVE-2024-32487)

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 less packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
