EulerOS 2.0 SP8 : xorg-x11-server (EulerOS-SA-2020-1037)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 132630

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the xorg-x11-server packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - systemd 242 changes the VT1 mode upon a logout, which allows attackers to read cleartext passwords in certain circumstances, such as watching a shutdown, or using Ctrl-Alt-F1 and Ctrl-Alt-F2. This occurs because the KDGKBMODE (aka current keyboard mode) check is mishandled.(CVE-2018-20839)

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 xorg-x11-server package.
