EulerOS 2.0 SP8 : libgit2 (EulerOS-SA-2024-2477)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 207642

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the libgit2 package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

libgit2 is a portable C implementation of the Git core methods provided as a linkable library with a solid API, allowing to build Git functionality into your application. Using well-crafted inputs to `git_index_add` can cause heap corruption that could be leveraged for arbitrary code execution. There is an issue in the `has_dir_name` function in `src/libgit2/index.c`, which frees an entry that should not be freed. The freed entry is later used and overwritten with potentially bad actor-controlled data leading to controlled heap corruption. Depending on the application that uses libgit2, this could lead to arbitrary code execution. This issue has been patched in version 1.6.5 and 1.7.2.(CVE-2024-24577)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS libgit2 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 libgit2 packages.
