EulerOS 2.0 SP11 : libtar (EulerOS-SA-2023-1575)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 173368

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

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

 - After tar_close(), libtar.c releases the memory pointed to by pointer t. After tar_close() is called in the list() function, it continues to use pointer t: free_longlink_longname(t->th_buf) . As a result, the released memory is used (use-after-free). (CVE-2021-33640)

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 libtar packages.
