EulerOS 2.0 SP5 : lz4 (EulerOS-SA-2019-2542)

high Nessus Plugin ID 131816

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the lz4 package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - LZ4 before 1.9.2 has a heap-based buffer overflow in LZ4_write32 (related to LZ4_compress_destSize), affecting applications that call LZ4_compress_fast with a large input. (This issue can also lead to data corruption.) NOTE: the vendor states 'only a few specific / uncommon usages of the API are at risk.'(CVE-2019-17543)

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 lz4 package.
