Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2022-37866

high Nessus Plugin ID 224816

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.

- When Apache Ivy downloads artifacts from a repository it stores them in the local file system based on a user-supplied pattern that may include placeholders for artifacts coordinates like the organisation, module or version. If said coordinates contain ../ sequences - which are valid characters for Ivy coordinates in general - it is possible the artifacts are stored outside of Ivy's local cache or repository or can overwrite different artifacts inside of the local cache. In order to exploit this vulnerability an attacker needs collaboration by the remote repository as Ivy will issue http requests containing .. sequences and a normal repository will not interpret them as part of the artifact coordinates. Users of Apache Ivy 2.0.0 to 2.5.1 should upgrade to Ivy 2.5.1. (CVE-2022-37866)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
