NewStart CGSL MAIN 7.02 : busybox Multiple Vulnerabilities (NS-SA-2026-0087)

high Nessus Plugin ID 343550

Synopsis

The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has busybox packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- BusyBox through 1.35.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code if netstat is used to print a DNS PTR record's value to a VT compatible terminal. Alternatively, the attacker could choose to change the terminal's colors. (CVE-2022-28391)

- A heap-buffer-overflow was discovered in BusyBox v.1.36.1 in the next_token function at awk.c:1159.
(CVE-2023-42366)

- In tar in BusyBox through 1.37.0, a TAR archive can have filenames hidden from a listing through the use of terminal escape sequences. (CVE-2025-46394)

- BusyBox wget thru 1.3.7 accepted raw CR (0x0D)/LF (0x0A) and other C0 control bytes in the HTTP request- target (path/query), allowing the request line to be split and attacker-controlled headers to be injected.
To preserve the HTTP/1.1 request-line shape METHOD SP request-target SP HTTP/1.1, a raw space (0x20) in the request-target must also be rejected (clients should use %20). (CVE-2025-60876)

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