Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2022-24895

high Nessus Plugin ID 224508

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- Symfony is a PHP framework for web and console applications and a set of reusable PHP components. When authenticating users Symfony by default regenerates the session ID upon login, but preserves the rest of session attributes. Because this does not clear CSRF tokens upon login, this might enables same-site attackers to bypass the CSRF protection mechanism by performing an attack similar to a session-fixation.
This issue has been fixed in the 4.4 branch. (CVE-2022-24895)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
