EulerOS 2.0 SP3 : bash (EulerOS-SA-2021-1765)

high Nessus Plugin ID 149116

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

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

 - A heap-based buffer overflow exists in GNU Bash before 4.3 when wide characters, not supported by the current locale set in the LC_CTYPE environment variable, are printed through the echo built-in function. A local attacker, who can provide data to print through the 'echo -e' built-in function, may use this flaw to crash a script or execute code with the privileges of the bash process. This occurs because ansicstr() in lib/sh/strtrans.c mishandles u32cconv().(CVE-2012-6711)

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 bash package.
