critical Nessus Plugin ID 135555

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

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

- eap.c in pppd in ppp 2.4.2 through 2.4.8 has an rhostname buffer overflow in the eap_request and eap_response functions.(CVE-2020-8597)

- Buffer overflow in the rc_mksid function in plugins/radius/util.c in Paul's PPP Package (ppp) 2.4.6 and earlier, when the PID for pppd is greater than 65535, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a start accounting message to the RADIUS server.(CVE-2015-3310)

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 ppp packages.
