EulerOS 2.0 SP9 : binutils (EulerOS-SA-2023-1118)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 169639

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the binutils package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- zlib before 1.2.12 allows memory corruption when deflating (i.e., when compressing) if the input has many distant matches. (CVE-2018-25032)

- zlib through 1.2.12 has a heap-based buffer over-read or buffer overflow in inflate in inflate.c via a large gzip header extra field. NOTE: only applications that call inflateGetHeader are affected. Some common applications bundle the affected zlib source code but may be unable to call inflateGetHeader (e.g., see the nodejs/node reference). (CVE-2022-37434)

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 binutils packages.
