NewStart CGSL CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05 : libxml2 Vulnerability (NS-SA-2023-0008)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 174099

Synopsis

The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has libxml2 packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

 - xpointer.c in libxml2 before 2.9.5 (as used in Apple iOS before 10, OS X before 10.12, tvOS before 10, and watchOS before 3, and other products) does not forbid namespace nodes in XPointer ranges, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and memory corruption) via a crafted XML document. (CVE-2016-4658)

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

Solution

Upgrade the vulnerable CGSL libxml2 packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
