CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: c-ares / nodejs / python-gevent / grpc (CVE-2022-4904)

high Nessus Plugin ID 201642

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of c-ares / nodejs / python-gevent / grpc installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2022-4904 advisory.

 - A flaw was found in the c-ares package. The ares_set_sortlist is missing checks about the validity of the input string, which allows a possible arbitrary length stack overflow. This issue May cause a denial of service or a limited impact on confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2022-4904)

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 packages.
