EulerOS 2.0 SP5 : cpio (EulerOS-SA-2019-2687)

high Nessus Plugin ID 132354

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

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

- It was discovered cpio does not properly validate input files when generating TAR archives. When cpio is used to create TAR archives from paths an attacker can write to, the resulting archive may contain files with permissions the attacker did not have or in paths he did not have access to. Extracting those archives from a high-privilege user without carefully reviewing them may lead to the compromise of the system.(CVE-2019-14866)

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 cpio package.
