EulerOS Virtualization 2.9.1 : wayland (EulerOS-SA-2023-1209)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 169803

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

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

 - An internal reference count is held on the buffer pool, incremented every time a new buffer is created from the pool. The reference count is maintained as an int; on LP64 systems this can cause the reference count to overflow if the client creates a large number of wl_shm buffer objects, or if it can coerce the server to create a large number of external references to the buffer storage. With the reference count overflowing, a use-after-free can be constructed on the wl_shm_pool tracking structure, where values may be incremented or decremented; it may also be possible to construct a limited oracle to leak 4 bytes of server-side memory to the attacking client at a time. (CVE-2021-3782)

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 wayland packages.
