MiracleLinux 8 : rust-toolset:rhel8 (AXSA:2022-2990:01)

high Nessus Plugin ID 294613

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2022-2990:01 advisory.

 * Developer environment: Unicode's bidirectional (BiDi) override characters can cause trojan source attacks (CVE-2021-42574) The following changes were introduced in rust in order to facilitate detection of BiDi Unicode characters:
 Rust introduces two new lints to detect and reject code containing the affected codepoints. These new deny-by-default lints detect affected codepoints in string literals and comments. The lints will prevent source code file containing these codepoints from being compiled. If your code has legitimate uses for the codepoints we recommend replacing them with the related escape sequence. The error messages will suggest the right escapes to use.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
