NewStart CGSL CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04 : fuse Vulnerability (NS-SA-2019-0073)

high Nessus Plugin ID 127278

Synopsis

The remote machine is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has fuse packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

- A vulnerability was discovered in fuse. When SELinux is active, fusermount is vulnerable to a restriction bypass. This allows non-root users to mount a FUSE file system with the 'allow_other' mount option regardless of whether 'user_allow_other' is set in the fuse configuration. An attacker may use this flaw to mount a FUSE file system, accessible by other users, and trick them into accessing files on that file system, possibly causing Denial of Service or other unspecified effects.
(CVE-2018-10906)

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

Solution

Upgrade the vulnerable CGSL fuse packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
