EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 3.0.6.0 : libXtst (EulerOS-SA-2020-2007)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 140955

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the libXtst package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- X.org libXtst before 1.2.3 allows remote X servers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a reply in the (1) XRecordStartOfData, (2) XRecordEndOfData, or (3) XRecordClientDied category without a client sequence and with attached data.(CVE-2016-7952)

- Multiple integer overflows in X.org libXtst before 1.2.3 allow remote X servers to trigger out-of-bounds memory access operations by leveraging the lack of range checks.(CVE-2016-7951)

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 libXtst packages.
