high Nessus Plugin ID 198098

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the shim package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

A security vulnerability has been identified in all supported versions of OpenSSL related to the verification of X.509 certificate chains that include policy constraints. Attackers may be able to exploit this vulnerability by creating a malicious certificate chain that triggers exponential use of computational resources, leading to a denial-of-service (DoS) attack on affected systems.Policy processing is disabled by default but can be enabled by passing the `-policy' argument to the command line utilities or by calling the `X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_policies()' function.(CVE-2023-0464)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS Virtualization shim 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 shim packages.
