The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8056-1 advisory.

    Simon Diepold discovered that U-Boot incorrectly handled certain DHCP responses. An attacker on the local     network could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive memory contents. (CVE-2024-42040)

    It was discovered that U-Boot incorrectly handled symlink size calculations in squashfs file systems. An     attacker could use this issue with a specially crafted squashfs file system to cause U-Boot to crash,     resulting in a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-57254)

    It was discovered that U-Boot incorrectly handled inode size calculations in squashfs file systems. An     attacker could use this issue with a specially crafted squashfs file system to cause U-Boot to crash,     resulting in a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-57255)

    It was discovered that U-Boot incorrectly handled inode size calculations in EXT4 file systems. An     attacker could use this issue with a specially crafted EXT4 file system to cause U-Boot to crash,     resulting in a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-57256)

    It was discovered that U-Boot incorrectly handled deep symlink nesting in squashfs file systems. An     attacker could possibly use this issue with a specially crafted squashfs file system to cause U-Boot to     crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2024-57257)

    It was discovered that U-Boot incorrectly handled memory allocation in squashfs file systems. An attacker     could use this issue with a specially crafted squashfs file system to cause U-Boot to crash, resulting in     a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-57258)

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.

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

    An integer overflow in ext4fs_read_symlink in Das U-Boot before 2025.01-rc1 occurs for zalloc (adding one     to an le32 variable) via a crafted ext4 filesystem with an inode size of 0xffffffff, resulting in a malloc     of zero and resultant memory overwrite.(CVE-2024-57256)

    Integer overflows in memory allocation in Das U-Boot before 2025.01-rc1 occur for a crafted squashfs     filesystem via sbrk, via request2size, or because ptrdiff_t is mishandled on x86_64.(CVE-2024-57258)
