EulerOS 2.0 SP8 : subscription-manager (EulerOS-SA-2024-1302)

high Nessus Plugin ID 191880

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the subscription-manager packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- A vulnerability was found in subscription-manager that allows local privilege escalation due to inadequate authorization. The D-Bus interface com.redhat.RHSM1 exposes a significant number of methods to all users that could change the state of the registration. By using the com.redhat.RHSM1.Config.SetAll() method, a low-privileged local user could tamper with the state of the registration, by unregistering the system or by changing the current entitlements. This flaw allows an attacker to set arbitrary configuration directives for /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf, which can be abused to cause a local privilege escalation to an unconfined root. (CVE-2023-3899)

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 subscription-manager packages.
