EulerOS Virtualization 2.5.4 : systemd (EulerOS-SA-2019-1217)

high Nessus Plugin ID 123903

Language:

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

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

 - A flaw was found in the way systemd handled empty notification messages. A local attacker could use this flaw to make systemd freeze its execution, preventing further management of system services, system shutdown, or zombie process collection via systemd.i1/4^CVE-2016-7795i1/4%0

 - systemd-tmpfiles in systemd before 237 attempts to support ownership/permission changes on hardlinked files even if the fs.protected_hardlinks sysctl is turned off, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via vectors involving a hard link to a file for which the user lacks write access, as demonstrated by changing the ownership of the /etc/passwd file.i1/4^CVE-2017-18078i1/4%0

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 systemd packages.
