Ubuntu 20.04 ESM / 22.04 ESM : fish vulnerability (USN-5367-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 183567

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 ESM / 22.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-5367-1 advisory.

 Justin Steven discovered that fish was not properly filtering local git configuration directives when running background git commands. A remote unauthenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu 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 fish and / or fish-common packages.
