CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: shim / shim-unsigned-x64 (CVE-2023-40546)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 207026

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-2023-40546 advisory.

 - A flaw was found in Shim when an error happened while creating a new ESL variable. If Shim fails to create the new variable, it tries to print an error message to the user; however, the number of parameters used by the logging function doesn't match the format string used by it, leading to a crash under certain circumstances. (CVE-2023-40546)

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.
