CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: edk2 / hvloader / openssl / nodejs18 (CVE-2023-0465)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 201673

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of edk2 / hvloader / openssl / nodejs18 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-2023-0465 advisory.

 - Applications that use a non-default option when verifying certificates May be vulnerable to an attack from a malicious CA to circumvent certain checks. Invalid certificate policies in leaf certificates are silently ignored by OpenSSL and other certificate policy checks are skipped for that certificate. A malicious CA could use this to deliberately assert invalid certificate policies in order to circumvent policy checking on the certificate altogether. 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-2023-0465)

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.
