NewStart CGSL MAIN 6.02 : grub2 Multiple Vulnerabilities (NS-SA-2024-0068)

high Nessus Plugin ID 206830

Synopsis

The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has grub2 packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- A flaw in grub2 was found where its configuration file, known as grub.cfg, is being created with the wrong permission set allowing non privileged users to read its content. This represents a low severity confidentiality issue, as those users can eventually read any encrypted passwords present in grub.cfg.
(CVE-2021-3981)

- A flaw was found in grub2 when handling IPv4 packets. This flaw allows an attacker to craft a malicious packet, triggering an integer underflow in grub code. Consequently, the memory allocation for handling the packet data may be smaller than the size needed. This issue causes an out-of-bands write during packet handling, compromising data integrity, confidentiality issues, a denial of service, and remote code execution. (CVE-2022-28733)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the vulnerable CGSL grub2 packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
