EulerOS 2.0 SP2 : libplist (EulerOS-SA-2019-2395)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 131887

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

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

 - libplist allows attackers to cause a denial of service (large memory allocation and crash) via vectors involving an offset size of zero.(CVE-2017-5835)

 - The main function in plistutil.c in libimobiledevice libplist through 1.12 allows attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory or cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) via Apple Property List data that is too short.(CVE-2017-5545)

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 libplist packages.
