According to the versions of the cifs-utils package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - In cifs-utils through 6.14, a stack-based buffer overflow when parsing the mount.cifs ip= command-line     argument could lead to local attackers gaining root privileges. (CVE-2022-27239)

  - cifs-utils through 6.14, with verbose logging, can cause an information leak when a file contains = (equal     sign) characters but is not a valid credentials file. (CVE-2022-29869)

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.

The version of cifs-utils installed on the remote host is prior to 6.2-10. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-1977 advisory.

    A flaw was found in cifs-utils. When verbose logging is enabled, invalid credentials file lines may be     dumped to stderr. This may lead to information disclosure in particular conditions when the credentials     file given is sensitive and contains = signs. (CVE-2022-29869)

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

An update of the cifs package has been released.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2022-2022-089 advisory.

    A stack-based buffer overflow issue was found in pifs-utils. Parsing the mount.cifs ip command-line     argument can lead to local attackers gaining root privileges. (CVE-2022-27239)

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7688-1 advisory.

    Aurlien Aptel discovered that cifs-utils invoked a shell when requesting a password. In certain     environments, a local attacker could possibly use this issue to escalate privileges. (CVE-2020-14342)

    It was discovered that cifs-utils incorrectly used host credentials when mounting a krb5 CIFS file system     from within a container. An attacker inside a container could possibly use this issue to obtain access to     sensitive information. (CVE-2021-20208)

    It was discovered that cifs-utils incorrectly handled certain command-line arguments. A local attacker     could possibly use this issue to obtain root privileges. (CVE-2022-27239)

    It was discovered that cifs-utils incorrectly handled verbose logging. A local attacker could possibly use     this issue to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2022-29869)

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

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - cifs-utils through 6.14, with verbose logging, can cause an information leak when a file contains = (equal     sign) characters but is not a valid credentials file. (CVE-2022-29869)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
