CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: shim / shim-unsigned-x64 (CVE-2023-40548)

high Nessus Plugin ID 207018

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of shim / shim-unsigned-x64 installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2023-40548 advisory.

 - A buffer overflow was found in Shim in the 32-bit system. The overflow happens due to an addition operation involving a user-controlled value parsed from the PE binary being used by Shim. This value is further used for memory allocation operations, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. This flaw causes memory corruption and can lead to a crash or data integrity issues during the boot phase. (CVE-2023-40548)

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 packages.
