Flexera InstallShield < 2023 R2 DoS (CVE-2023-29081)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 193575

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The Flexera InstallShield application installed on the remote host is missing a vendor-supplied hotfix. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability. A vulnerability has been reported in Suite Setups built with versions prior to InstallShield 2023 R2. This vulnerability may allow locally authenticated users to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) condition when handling move operations on local, temporary folders.

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

Solution

Update to version 2023 R2 or later.
