EulerOS Virtualization 2.5.2 : yum-utils (EulerOS-SA-2019-1080)

high Nessus Plugin ID 122702

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the yum-utils package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - A directory traversal issue was found in reposync, a part of yum-utils, where reposync fails to sanitize paths in remote repository configuration files. If an attacker controls a repository, they may be able to copy files outside of the destination directory on the targeted system via path traversal. If reposync is running with heightened privileges on a targeted system, this flaw could potentially result in system compromise via the overwriting of critical system files. Version 1.1.31 and older are believed to be affected.(CVE-2018-10897)

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.

Solution

Update the affected yum-utils package.
