Synopsis

The Nutanix AOS host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities .

Description

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 5.16.1.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-5.16.1.2 advisory.

- An issue was discovered in Pillow before 6.2.0. When reading specially crafted invalid image files, the library can either allocate very large amounts of memory or take an extremely long period of time to process the image. (CVE-2019-16865)

- libImaging/PcxDecode.c in Pillow before 6.2.2 has a PCX P mode buffer overflow. (CVE-2020-5312)

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

Solution

Update the Nutanix AOS software to recommended version.
