high Nessus Plugin ID 136521

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for buildah.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:2116 advisory.

The buildah package provides a tool for facilitating building OCI container images. Among other things, buildah enables you to: Create a working container, either from scratch or using an image as a starting point; Create an image, either from a working container or using the instructions in a Dockerfile; Build both Docker and OCI images.

Security Fix(es):

* buildah: Crafted input tar file may lead to local file overwrite during image build process (CVE-2020-10696)

* containers/image: Container images read entire image manifest into memory (CVE-2020-1702)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Bug Fix(es):

* buildah is not expanding env vars in file paths (BZ#1822031)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the RHEL buildah package based on the guidance in RHSA-2020:2116.
