EulerOS Virtualization 3.0.6.0 : libarchive (EulerOS-SA-2022-2568)

high Nessus Plugin ID 165931

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

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

- An improper link resolution flaw while extracting an archive can lead to changing the access control list (ACL) of the target of the link. An attacker may provide a malicious archive to a victim user, who would trigger this flaw when trying to extract the archive. A local attacker may use this flaw to change the ACL of a file on the system and gain more privileges. (CVE-2021-23177)

- An improper link resolution flaw can occur while extracting an archive leading to changing modes, times, access control lists, and flags of a file outside of the archive. An attacker may provide a malicious archive to a victim user, who would trigger this flaw when trying to extract the archive. A local attacker may use this flaw to gain more privileges in a system. (CVE-2021-31566)

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 libarchive packages.
