NewStart CGSL MAIN 6.02 : perl-HTTP-Tiny Multiple Vulnerabilities (NS-SA-2024-0058)

high Nessus Plugin ID 206844

Synopsis

The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

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

- It was found that perl can load modules from the current directory if not found in the module directories, via the @INC path. A local, authenticated attacker could create a specially crafted module in a writable directory and trick a user into running a perl program from that directory; if the module is not found in previous @INC paths, it will load and execute the attacker's module. (CVE-2016-1238)

- An Insecure Default Initialization of Resource flaw was found in HTTP::Tiny, where TLS certificates were not verified by default. This flaw can lead to loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
(CVE-2023-31486)

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 perl-HTTP-Tiny packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
