EulerOS Virtualization 2.9.1 : cryptsetup (EulerOS-SA-2021-1594)

high Nessus Plugin ID 147604

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

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

 - A vulnerability was found in upstream release cryptsetup-2.2.0 where, there's a bug in LUKS2 format validation code, that is effectively invoked on every device/image presenting itself as LUKS2 container. The bug is in segments validation code in file 'lib/luks2/luks2_json_metadata.c' in function hdr_validate_segments(struct crypt_device *cd, json_object *hdr_jobj) where the code does not check for possible overflow on memory allocation used for intervals array (see statement 'intervals = malloc(first_backup * sizeof(*intervals))'). Due to the bug, library can be *tricked* to expect such allocation was successful but for far less memory then originally expected. Later it may read data FROM image crafted by an attacker and actually write such data BEYOND allocated memory.(CVE-2020-14382)

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 cryptsetup package.
