high Nessus Plugin ID 142203

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the gnutls packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - An issue was discovered in GnuTLS before 3.6.15. A server can trigger a NULL pointer dereference in a TLS 1.3 client if a no_renegotiation alert is sent with unexpected timing, and then an invalid second handshake occurs. The crash happens in the application's error handling path, where the gnutls_deinit function is called after detecting a handshake failure.(CVE-2020-24659)

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 gnutls package.
