Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 11 / 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5481 advisory.

- eprosima Fast DDS is a C++ implementation of the Data Distribution Service standard of the Object Management Group. Prior to versions 2.10.0, 2.9.2, and 2.6.5, a malformed GAP submessage can trigger assertion failure, crashing FastDDS. Version 2.10.0, 2.9.2, and 2.6.5 contain a patch for this issue.
(CVE-2023-39534)

- eprosima Fast DDS is a C++ implementation of the Data Distribution Service standard of the Object Management Group. Prior to versions 2.11.0, 2.10.2, 2.9.2, and 2.6.5, a data submessage sent to PDP port raises unhandled `BadParamException` in fastcdr, which in turn crashes fastdds. Versions 2.11.0, 2.10.2, 2.9.2, and 2.6.5 contain a patch for this issue. (CVE-2023-39945)

- eprosima Fast DDS is a C++ implementation of the Data Distribution Service standard of the Object Management Group. Prior to versions 2.11.1, 2.10.2, 2.9.2, and 2.6.6, heap can be overflowed by providing a PID_PROPERTY_LIST parameter that contains a CDR string with length larger than the size of actual content. In `eprosima::fastdds::dds::ParameterPropertyList_t::push_back_helper`, `memcpy` is called to first copy the octet'ized length and then to copy the data into `properties_.data`. At the second memcpy, both `data` and `size` can be controlled by anyone that sends the CDR string to the discovery multicast port. This can remotely crash any Fast-DDS process. Versions 2.11.1, 2.10.2, 2.9.2, and 2.6.6 contain a patch for this issue. (CVE-2023-39946)

- eprosima Fast DDS is a C++ implementation of the Data Distribution Service standard of the Object Management Group. Prior to versions 2.11.1, 2.10.2, 2.9.2, and 2.6.6, even after the fix at commit 3492270, malformed `PID_PROPERTY_LIST` parameters cause heap overflow at a different program counter. This can remotely crash any Fast-DDS process. Versions 2.11.1, 2.10.2, 2.9.2, and 2.6.6 contain a patch for this issue. (CVE-2023-39947)

- eprosima Fast DDS is a C++ implementation of the Data Distribution Service standard of the Object Management Group. Prior to versions 2.10.0 and 2.6.5, the `BadParamException` thrown by Fast CDR is not caught in Fast DDS. This can remotely crash any Fast DDS process. Versions 2.10.0 and 2.6.5 contain a patch for this issue. (CVE-2023-39948)

- eprosima Fast DDS is a C++ implementation of the Data Distribution Service standard of the Object Management Group. Prior to versions 2.9.1 and 2.6.5, improper validation of sequence numbers may lead to remotely reachable assertion failure. This can remotely crash any Fast-DDS process. Versions 2.9.1 and 2.6.5 contain a patch for this issue. (CVE-2023-39949)

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

Solution

Upgrade the fastdds packages.

For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 2.9.1+ds-1+deb12u1.
