CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: p7zip (CVE-2017-17969)

high Nessus Plugin ID 201702

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of p7zip 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-2017-17969 advisory.

 - Heap-based buffer overflow in the NCompress::NShrink::CDecoder::CodeReal method in 7-Zip before 18.00 and p7zip allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) or potentially execute arbitrary code via a crafted ZIP archive. (CVE-2017-17969)

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.
