openSUSE 15 Security Update : libu2f-host (openSUSE-SU-2021:1755-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 151710

Language:

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2021:1755-1 advisory.

 - Yubico libu2f-host 1.1.6 contains unchecked buffers in devs.c, which could enable a malicious token to exploit a buffer overflow. An attacker could use this to attempt to execute malicious code using a crafted USB device masquerading as a security token on a computer where the affected library is currently in use.
 It is not possible to perform this attack with a genuine YubiKey. (CVE-2018-20340)

 - In devs.c in Yubico libu2f-host before 1.1.8, the response to init is misparsed, leaking uninitialized stack memory back to the device. (CVE-2019-9578)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected libu2f-host-devel, libu2f-host0 and / or u2f-host packages.
