Synopsis

The Rocky Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The Rocky Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the CIQ crlsa-2024_3339 advisory.

 * glibc: Out of bounds write in iconv conversion to ISO-2022-CN-EXT (CVE-2024-2961)

 * glibc: stack-based buffer overflow in netgroup cache (CVE-2024-33599)

 * glibc: null pointer dereferences after failed netgroup cache insertion (CVE-2024-33600)

 * glibc: netgroup cache may terminate daemon on memory allocation failure (CVE-2024-33601)

 * glibc: netgroup cache assumes NSS callback uses in-buffer strings (CVE-2024-33602)

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

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

Solution

Update the affected packages based on the guidance in CIQ advisory crlsa-2024_3339.
