Azure Linux 3.0 Security Update: sriov-network-device-plugin / vitess (CVE-2024-45339)

high Nessus Plugin ID 216278

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of sriov-network-device-plugin / vitess 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-2024-45339 advisory.

 - When logs are written to a widely-writable directory (the default), an unprivileged attacker May predict a privileged process's log file path and pre-create a symbolic link to a sensitive file in its place. When that privileged process runs, it will follow the planted symlink and overwrite that sensitive file. To fix that, glog now causes the program to exit (with status code 2) when it finds that the configured log file already exists. (CVE-2024-45339)

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.
