EulerOS 2.0 SP8 : gssproxy (EulerOS-SA-2021-1145)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 145712

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

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

 - gssproxy (aka gss-proxy) before 0.8.3 does not unlock cond_mutex before pthread exit in gp_worker_main() in gp_workers.c. NOTE: An upstream comment states 'We are already on a shutdown path when running the code in question, so a DoS there doesn't make any sense, and there has been no additional information provided us (as upstream) to indicate why this would be a problem.'(CVE-2020-12658)

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 gssproxy package.
