Synopsis

The remote machine is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has git packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

- A flaw was discovered where git improperly validates submodules' names used to construct git metadata paths and does not prevent them from being nested in existing directories used to store another submodule's metadata.
A remote attacker could abuse this flaw to trick a victim user into cloning a malicious repository containing submodules, which, when recursively cloned, would trigger the flaw and remotely execute code on the victim's machine. (CVE-2019-1387)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the vulnerable CGSL git packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
