Unity Linux 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2024-002887)
medium Nessus Plugin ID 341377
Synopsis
The Unity Linux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2024-002887 advisory.In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block/rnbd-srv: Check for unlikely string overflow
Since dev_search_path can technically be as large as PATH_MAX, there was a risk of truncation when copying it and a second string into full_path since it was also PATH_MAX sized. The W=1 builds were reporting this warning:
drivers/block/rnbd/rnbd-srv.c: In function 'process_msg_open.isra':
drivers/block/rnbd/rnbd-srv.c:616:51: warning: '%s' directive output may be truncated writing up to 254 bytes into a region of size between 0 and 4095 [-Wformat-truncation=] 616 | snprintf(full_path, PATH_MAX, %s/%s, | ^~ In function 'rnbd_srv_get_full_path', inlined from 'process_msg_open.isra' at drivers/block/rnbd/rnbd-srv.c:721:14: drivers/block/rnbd/rnbd- srv.c:616:17: note: 'snprintf' output between 2 and 4351 bytes into a destination of size 4096 616 | snprintf(full_path, PATH_MAX, %s/%s, | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 617 | dev_search_path, dev_name);
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To fix this, unconditionally check for truncation (as was already done for the case where %SESSNAME% was present).
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
