EulerOS Virtualization 3.0.6.6 : device-mapper-multipath (EulerOS-SA-2023-2420)

high Nessus Plugin ID 178865

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the device-mapper-multipath packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - multipath-tools 0.7.0 through 0.9.x before 0.9.2 allows local users to obtain root access, as exploited alone or in conjunction with CVE-2022-41973. Local users able to write to UNIX domain sockets can bypass access controls and manipulate the multipath setup. This can lead to local privilege escalation to root.
 This occurs because an attacker can repeat a keyword, which is mishandled because arithmetic ADD is used instead of bitwise OR. (CVE-2022-41974)

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 device-mapper-multipath packages.
