Fedora 41 : rust-rustls / rust-zlib-rs (2024-41e6e2fc74)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 211966

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Fedora 41 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2024-41e6e2fc74 advisory.

 - Update the rustls crate to version 0.23.17.
 - Update the zlib-rs crate to version 0.4.0.

 The update to zlib-rs v0.4.0 also addresses CVE-2024-11249 (stack overflow during decompression with malicious input). This issue had no actual impact in Fedora, because no applications yet use the the zlib- rs feature of rustls and rustls is the only dependent package of zlib-rs.


Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora 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 rust-rustls and / or rust-zlib-rs packages.
