Fedora 37 : tpm2-tss (2023-25617e952a)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 171240

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Fedora 37 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-25617e952a advisory.

 Fixed:

 * A buffer overflow in tss2-rc as CVE-2023-22745.
 * The drv layer in tss2-rc should have been the policy layer.
 * Spec deviation in Fapi_GetDescription caused description to be NULL when it should be empty string.
 This is API breaking but considered a bug since it deviated from the FAPI spec.
 * FAPI: undefined reference to curl_url_strerror when using curl less than 7.80.0.


Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected tpm2-tss package.
