medium Nessus Plugin ID 128816

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

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

 - Vixie Cron before the 3.0pl1-133 Debian package allows local users to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a large crontab file because the calloc return value is not checked.(CVE-2019-9704)

 - Vixie Cron before the 3.0pl1-133 Debian package allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large crontab file because an unlimited number of lines is accepted.(CVE-2019-9705)

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 cronie packages.
