EulerOS Virtualization 3.0.1.0 : gcc (EulerOS-SA-2019-1461)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 124964

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the gcc packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

- The std::random_device class in libstdc++ in the GNU Compiler Collection (aka GCC) before 4.9.4 does not properly handle short reads from blocking sources, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to predict the random values via unspecified vectors.(CVE-2015-5276)

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 gcc package.
