    The net-snmp packages provide various libraries and tools for the Simple Network Management Protocol     (SNMP), including an SNMP library, an extensible agent, tools for requesting or setting information from     SNMP agents, tools for generating and handling SNMP traps, a version of the netstat command which uses     SNMP, and a Tk/Perl Management Information Base (MIB) browser.

    Security Fix(es):

    * net-snmp: Improper Privilege Management in EXTEND MIB may lead to privileged commands execution     (CVE-2020-15862)

According to the versions of the net-snmp packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Net-SNMP through 5.7.3 allows Escalation of Privileges     because of UNIX symbolic link (symlink)     following.(CVE-2020-15861)

  - Net-SNMP through 5.7.3 has Improper Privilege     Management because SNMP WRITE access to the EXTEND MIB     provides the ability to run arbitrary commands as     root.(CVE-2020-15862)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

According to the versions of the net-snmp packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - net-snmp before 5.8.1.pre1 has a double free in     usm_free_usmStateReference in snmplib/snmpusm.c via an     SNMPv3 GetBulk request. NOTE: this affects net-snmp     packages shipped to end users by multiple Linux     distributions, but might not affect an upstream     release.(CVE-2019-20892)

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 5.19.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-5.19.1 advisory.

  - In Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.46, several cryptographic primitives had missing length     checks. In cases where the application calling the library did not perform a sanity check on the inputs it     could result in a crash due to a buffer overflow. (CVE-2019-17006)

  - Heap buffer overflow in the TFTP protocol handler in cURL 7.19.4 to 7.65.3. (CVE-2019-5482)

  - In all versions of cpio before 2.13 does not properly validate input files when generating TAR archives.
    When cpio is used to create TAR archives from paths an attacker can write to, the resulting archive may     contain files with permissions the attacker did not have or in paths he did not have access to. Extracting     those archives from a high-privilege user without carefully reviewing them may lead to the compromise of     the system. (CVE-2019-14866)

  - If an HTTP/2 client connecting to Apache Tomcat 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.0-M7, 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.37 or 8.5.0 to     8.5.57 exceeded the agreed maximum number of concurrent streams for a connection (in violation of the     HTTP/2 protocol), it was possible that a subsequent request made on that connection could contain HTTP     headers - including HTTP/2 pseudo headers - from a previous request rather than the intended headers. This     could lead to users seeing responses for unexpected resources. (CVE-2020-13943)

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Server product of Oracle MySQL (component: Server: Optimizer). Supported     versions that are affected are 5.6.45 and prior, 5.7.27 and prior and 8.0.17 and prior. Easily exploitable     vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise     MySQL Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang     or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server. (CVE-2019-2974)
