Nutanix AOS : Multiple Vulnerabilities (NXSA-AOS-5.20.3.6)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 165275

Language:

Synopsis

The Nutanix AOS host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities .

Description

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 5.20.3.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-5.20.3.6 advisory.

 - In Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.5, there is an integer overflow in storeRawNames. (CVE-2022-25315)

 - In Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.3, a left shift by 29 (or more) places in the storeAtts function in xmlparse.c can lead to realloc misbehavior (e.g., allocating too few bytes, or only freeing memory).
 (CVE-2021-45960)

 - In Cyrus SASL 2.1.17 through 2.1.27 before 2.1.28, plugins/sql.c does not escape the password for a SQL INSERT or UPDATE statement. (CVE-2022-24407)

 - A flaw was found in OpenLDAP. This flaw allows an attacker who can send a malicious packet to be processed by OpenLDAP's slapd server, to trigger an assertion failure. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2020-25709)

 - A flaw was found in OpenLDAP in versions before 2.4.56. This flaw allows an attacker who sends a malicious packet processed by OpenLDAP to force a failed assertion in csnNormalize23(). The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2020-25710)

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 the recommended version. Before upgrading: if this cluster is registered with Prism Central, ensure that Prism Central has been upgraded first to a compatible version. Refer to the Software Product Interoperability page on the Nutanix portal.
