Azure Linux 3.0 Security Update: perl-Module-ScanDeps (CVE-2024-10224)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 215287

Synopsis

The remote Azure Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of perl-Module-ScanDeps installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-10224 advisory.

 - Qualys discovered that if unsanitized input was used with the library Modules::ScanDeps, before version 1.36 a local attacker could possibly execute arbitrary shell commands by open()ing a pesky pipe (such as passing commands| as a filename) or by passing arbitrary strings to eval(). (CVE-2024-10224)

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.
