medium Nessus Plugin ID 151769

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

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

 - The iconv program in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.31 and earlier, when invoked with multiple suffixes in the destination encoding (TRANSLATE or IGNORE) along with the -c option, enters an infinite loop when processing invalid multi-byte input sequences, leading to a denial of service.(CVE-2016-10228)

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
