EulerOS 2.0 SP11 : multipath-tools (EulerOS-SA-2023-1017)

high Nessus Plugin ID 169561

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the multipath-tools packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - multipath-tools 0.7.7 through 0.9.x before 0.9.2 allows local users to obtain root access, as exploited in conjunction with CVE-2022-41974. Local users able to access /dev/shm can change symlinks in multipathd due to incorrect symlink handling, which could lead to controlled file writes outside of the /dev/shm directory. This could be used indirectly for local privilege escalation to root. (CVE-2022-41973)

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 multipath-tools packages.
