EulerOS 2.0 SP11 : less (EulerOS-SA-2024-2101)

high Nessus Plugin ID 205249

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

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

 less through 653 allows OS command execution via a newline character in the name of a file, because quoting is mishandled in filename.c. Exploitation typically requires use with attacker-controlled file names, such as the files extracted from an untrusted archive. Exploitation also requires the LESSOPEN environment variable, but this is set by default in many common cases.(CVE-2024-32487)

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