high Nessus Plugin ID 147667

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the libX11 package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - An integer overflow vulnerability leading to a double-free was found in libX11. This flaw allows a local privileged attacker to cause an application compiled with libX11 to crash, or in some cases, result in arbitrary code execution. The highest threat from this flaw is to confidentiality, integrity as well as system availability.(CVE-2020-14363)

 - An integer overflow leading to a heap-buffer overflow was found in The X Input Method (XIM) client was implemented in libX11 before version 1.6.10. As per upstream this is security relevant when setuid programs call XIM client functions while running with elevated privileges. No such programs are shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.(CVE-2020-14344)

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
