EulerOS Virtualization 2.11.0 : util-linux (EulerOS-SA-2024-2204)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 205965

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

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

 An attacker with the ability to modify physical memory can control the value of AcpiS3ResumeRecord- ResumeCount. If the attacker sets the value of ResumeCount to MAX_UINT32 (0xFFFFFFFF), and ResumeCount is subsequently incremented, its new value will be 0 (due to UINT32 overflow). Since there is no check for overflow, when ResumeCount is 0 and passed as the second argument to DivU64x32(), it will trigger a division by 0, and cause a system crash, leading to a DoS.(CVE-2024-1298)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS Virtualization util-linux 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 util-linux packages.
