CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: fribidi (CVE-2022-25309)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 173557

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of fribidi installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2022-25309 advisory.

 - A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the Fribidi package and affects the fribidi_cap_rtl_to_unicode() function of the fribidi-char-sets-cap-rtl.c file. This flaw allows an attacker to pass a specially crafted file to the Fribidi application with the '--caprtl' option, leading to a crash and causing a denial of service. (CVE-2022-25309)

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 packages.
