EulerOS Virtualization 3.0.2.6 : nfs-utils (EulerOS-SA-2023-1076)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 169634

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the nfs-utils package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - The nfs-utils package in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 before and including version 1.3.0-34.18.1 and in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 before and including version 2.1.1-6.10.2 the directory /var/lib/nfs is owned by statd:nogroup. This directory contains files owned and managed by root. If statd is compromised, it can therefore trick processes running with root privileges into creating/overwriting files anywhere on the system. (CVE-2019-3689)

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 nfs-utils packages.
