medium Nessus Plugin ID 159253

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the numpy packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - ** DISPUTED ** Buffer overflow in the array_from_pyobj function of fortranobject.c in NumPy < 1.19, which allows attackers to conduct a Denial of Service attacks by carefully constructing an array with negative values. NOTE: The vendor does not agree this is a vulnerability; the negative dimensions can only be created by an already privileged user (or internally). (CVE-2021-41496)

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 numpy packages.
