Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2022-21694

medium Nessus Plugin ID 229966

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.

- OnionShare is an open source tool that lets you securely and anonymously share files, host websites, and chat with friends using the Tor network. The website mode of the onionshare allows to use a hardened CSP, which will block any scripts and external resources. It is not possible to configure this CSP for individual pages and therefore the security enhancement cannot be used for websites using javascript or external resources like fonts or images. (CVE-2022-21694)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
