EulerOS Virtualization 3.0.6.0 : bash (EulerOS-SA-2020-1716)

high Nessus Plugin ID 137935

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

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

- An issue was discovered in disable_priv_mode in shell.c in GNU Bash through 5.0 patch 11. By default, if Bash is run with its effective UID not equal to its real UID, it will drop privileges by setting its effective UID to its real UID. However, it does so incorrectly.
On Linux and other systems that support 'saved UID' functionality, the saved UID is not dropped. An attacker with command execution in the shell can use 'enable -f' for runtime loading of a new builtin, which can be a shared object that calls setuid() and therefore regains privileges. However, binaries running with an effective UID of 0 are unaffected.(CVE-2019-18276)

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 bash package.
