EulerOS 2.0 SP5 : e2fsprogs (EulerOS-SA-2019-2140)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 130849

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the e2fsprogs packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - The e2fsprogs package contains a number of utilities for creating,checking, modifying, and correcting any inconsistencies in second,third and fourth extended (ext2/ext3/ext4) file systems. E2fsprogs contains e2fsck (used to repair file system inconsistencies after an unclean shutdown), mke2fs (used to initialize a partition to contain an empty ext2 file system), debugfs (used to examine the internal structure of a file system, to manually repair a corrupted file system, or to create test cases for e2fsck), tune2fs (used to modify file system parameters), and most of the other core ext2fs file system utilities.You should install the e2fsprogs package if you need to manage the performance of an ext2, ext3, or ext4 file system.Security Fix(es):An exploitable code execution vulnerability exists in the quota file functionality of E2fsprogs 1.45.3. A specially crafted ext4 partition can cause an out-of-bounds write on the heap, resulting in code execution. An attacker can corrupt a partition to trigger this vulnerability.(CVE-2019-5094)

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 e2fsprogs package.
