high Nessus Plugin ID 176430

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Fedora 37 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-1d0d71b6aa advisory.

 - Update the sequoia-openpgp crate to version 1.16.0.
 - Update the nettle crate to version 7.3.0.
 - Update the nettle-sys crate to version 2.2.0.
 - Update the buffered-reader crate to version 1.2.0.

 Version 1.16.0 of the sequoia-openpgp crate fixes some issues in parsing code, which could lead to attempted out-of-bounds accesses that result in crashes due to bounds checks which are included by default in Rust code. This update contains rebuilds of all applications that are based on sequoia-openpgp to address this issue.

 ----

 Update to version 1.5.0.
 This release improves compatibility with the version of librnp that's bundled in recent versions of thunderbird.


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 packages.
