NewStart CGSL CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04 : zsh Vulnerability (NS-SA-2020-0041)

high Nessus Plugin ID 141399

Synopsis

The remote machine is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

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

 - In Zsh before 5.8, attackers able to execute commands can regain privileges dropped by the --no-PRIVILEGED option. Zsh fails to overwrite the saved uid, so the original privileges can be restored by executing MODULE_PATH=/dir/with/module zmodload with a module that calls setuid(). (CVE-2019-20044)

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 zsh packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
