Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

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

 - The parse_string_node function in bplist.c in libimobiledevice libplist 1.12 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory allocation error) via a crafted plist file.(CVE-2017-6436)

 - Heap-based buffer overflow in the parse_string_node function in bplist.c in libimobiledevice libplist 1.12 allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a crafted plist file.(CVE-2017-6439)

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
