CentOS 9 : parted-3.5-4.el9

medium Nessus Plugin ID 367944

Synopsis

The remote CentOS host is missing one or more security updates for parted.

Description

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the parted-3.5-4.el9 build changelog.

 - CVE-2026-89088 (CVE-2026-89085)

 - A flaw was found in parted. A heap-based buffer overflow exists in libparted's file system resizing logic when handling FAT16 volumes. By convincing a user or administrator to resize a specially crafted FAT16 file system image with malformed directory metadata, an attacker can trigger an oversized read into a fixed-size memory buffer. This issue causes memory corruption, resulting in an application crash and a denial of service (DoS). (CVE-2026-89088)

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 CentOS 9 Stream parted package.
