high Nessus Plugin ID 165331

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5233 advisory.

- enlightenment_sys in Enlightenment before 0.25.4 allows local users to gain privileges because it is setuid root, and the system library function mishandles pathnames that begin with a /dev/.. substring.
(CVE-2022-37706)

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 e17 packages.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in version 0.24.2-8+deb11u1.
