EulerOS 2.0 SP8 : oddjob (EulerOS-SA-2020-2524)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 144180

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

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

 - A race condition was found in the mkhomedir tool shipped with the oddjob package in versions before 0.34.5 and 0.34.6 wherein, during the home creation, mkhomedir copies the /etc/skel directory into the newly created home and changes its ownership to the home's user without properly checking the homedir path. This flaw allows an attacker to leverage this issue by creating a symlink point to a target folder, which then has its ownership transferred to the new home directory's unprivileged user.(CVE-2020-10737)

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 oddjob package.
