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-2022:0176-1 advisory.

- ** DISPUTED ** Unbound before 1.9.5 allows configuration injection in create_unbound_ad_servers.sh upon a successful man-in-the-middle attack against a cleartext HTTP session. NOTE: The vendor does not consider this a vulnerability of the Unbound software. create_unbound_ad_servers.sh is a contributed script from the community that facilitates automatic configuration creation. It is not part of the Unbound installation. (CVE-2019-25031)

- ** DISPUTED ** Unbound before 1.9.5 allows an integer overflow in the regional allocator via regional_alloc. NOTE: The vendor disputes that this is a vulnerability. Although the code may be vulnerable, a running Unbound installation cannot be remotely or locally exploited. (CVE-2019-25032)

- ** DISPUTED ** Unbound before 1.9.5 allows an integer overflow in the regional allocator via the ALIGN_UP macro. NOTE: The vendor disputes that this is a vulnerability. Although the code may be vulnerable, a running Unbound installation cannot be remotely or locally exploited. (CVE-2019-25033)

- ** DISPUTED ** Unbound before 1.9.5 allows an integer overflow in sldns_str2wire_dname_buf_origin, leading to an out-of-bounds write. NOTE: The vendor disputes that this is a vulnerability. Although the code may be vulnerable, a running Unbound installation cannot be remotely or locally exploited. (CVE-2019-25034)

- ** DISPUTED ** Unbound before 1.9.5 allows an out-of-bounds write in sldns_bget_token_par. NOTE: The vendor disputes that this is a vulnerability. Although the code may be vulnerable, a running Unbound installation cannot be remotely or locally exploited. (CVE-2019-25035)

- ** DISPUTED ** Unbound before 1.9.5 allows an assertion failure and denial of service in synth_cname.
NOTE: The vendor disputes that this is a vulnerability. Although the code may be vulnerable, a running Unbound installation cannot be remotely or locally exploited. (CVE-2019-25036)

- ** DISPUTED ** Unbound before 1.9.5 allows an assertion failure and denial of service in dname_pkt_copy via an invalid packet. NOTE: The vendor disputes that this is a vulnerability. Although the code may be vulnerable, a running Unbound installation cannot be remotely or locally exploited. (CVE-2019-25037)

- ** DISPUTED ** Unbound before 1.9.5 allows an integer overflow in a size calculation in dnscrypt/dnscrypt.c. NOTE: The vendor disputes that this is a vulnerability. Although the code may be vulnerable, a running Unbound installation cannot be remotely or locally exploited. (CVE-2019-25038)

- ** DISPUTED ** Unbound before 1.9.5 allows an integer overflow in a size calculation in respip/respip.c.
NOTE: The vendor disputes that this is a vulnerability. Although the code may be vulnerable, a running Unbound installation cannot be remotely or locally exploited. (CVE-2019-25039)

- ** DISPUTED ** Unbound before 1.9.5 allows an infinite loop via a compressed name in dname_pkt_copy. NOTE:
The vendor disputes that this is a vulnerability. Although the code may be vulnerable, a running Unbound installation cannot be remotely or locally exploited. (CVE-2019-25040)

- ** DISPUTED ** Unbound before 1.9.5 allows an assertion failure via a compressed name in dname_pkt_copy.
NOTE: The vendor disputes that this is a vulnerability. Although the code may be vulnerable, a running Unbound installation cannot be remotely or locally exploited. (CVE-2019-25041)

- ** DISPUTED ** Unbound before 1.9.5 allows an out-of-bounds write via a compressed name in rdata_copy.
NOTE: The vendor disputes that this is a vulnerability. Although the code may be vulnerable, a running Unbound installation cannot be remotely or locally exploited. (CVE-2019-25042)

- NLnet Labs Unbound, up to and including version 1.12.0, and NLnet Labs NSD, up to and including version 4.3.3, contain a local vulnerability that would allow for a local symlink attack. When writing the PID file, Unbound and NSD create the file if it is not there, or open an existing file for writing. In case the file was already present, they would follow symlinks if the file happened to be a symlink instead of a regular file. An additional chown of the file would then take place after it was written, making the user Unbound/NSD is supposed to run as the new owner of the file. If an attacker has local access to the user Unbound/NSD runs as, she could create a symlink in place of the PID file pointing to a file that she would like to erase. If then Unbound/NSD is killed and the PID file is not cleared, upon restarting with root privileges, Unbound/NSD will rewrite any file pointed at by the symlink. This is a local vulnerability that could create a Denial of Service of the system Unbound/NSD is running on. It requires an attacker having access to the limited permission user Unbound/NSD runs as and point through the symlink to a critical file on the system. (CVE-2020-28935)

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