EulerOS 2.0 SP2 : gpgme (EulerOS-SA-2019-2406)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 131898

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

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

 - GnuPG Made Easy (GPGME) is a library designed to make access to GnuPG easier for applications. It provides a high-level crypto API for encryption, decryption, signing, signature verification and key management.

 - Security fix(es):

 - Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the status_handler function in (1) engine-gpgsm.c and (2) engine-uiserver.c in GPGME before 1.5.1 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to 'different line lengths in a specific order.'(CVE-2014-3564)

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 gpgme packages.
