NewStart CGSL CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05 : hivex Vulnerability (NS-SA-2022-0030)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 160812

Synopsis

The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has hivex packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

 - A flaw was found in the hivex library in versions before 1.3.20. It is caused due to a lack of bounds check within the hivex_open function. An attacker could input a specially crafted Windows Registry (hive) file which would cause hivex to read memory beyond its normal bounds or cause the program to crash. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2021-3504)

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

Solution

Upgrade the vulnerable CGSL hivex packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
