EulerOS Virtualization 2.11.1 : edk2 (EulerOS-SA-2024-2177)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 205976

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the edk2 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 edk2 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 edk2 packages.
