The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - glibc: Incorrect handling of RPATH in elf/dl-load.c can be used to execute code loaded from arbitrary     libraries (CVE-2017-16997)

  - glibc: regular-expression match via proceed_next_node in posix/regexec.c leads to heap-based buffer over-     read (CVE-2019-9169)

  - In the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.28, parse_reg_exp in posix/regcomp.c misparses     alternatives, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit)     or trigger an incorrect result by attempting a regular-expression match. (CVE-2009-5155)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4954-1 advisory.

    Jason Royes and Samuel Dytrych discovered that the memcpy() implementation for 32 bit ARM processors in     the GNU C Library contained an integer underflow vulnerability. An attacker could possibly use this to     cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-6096)

    It was discovered that the POSIX regex implementation in the GNU C Library did not properly parse     alternatives. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2009-5155)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K64119434 advisory.

  - In the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.28, parse_reg_exp in posix/regcomp.c misparses     alternatives, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit)     or trigger an incorrect result by attempting a regular-expression match. (CVE-2009-5155)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

This update for glibc fixes the following issues :

Security issues fixed :

CVE-2019-9169: regex: fix read overrun (bsc#1127308, BZ #24114)

CVE-2016-10739: Fully parse IPv4 address strings (bsc#1122729, BZ #20018)

CVE-2009-5155: ERE '0|()0|\1|0' causes regexec undefined behavior (bsc#1127223, BZ #18986)

Non-security issues fixed: Enable TLE only if GLIBC_ELISION_ENABLE=yes is defined (bsc#1131994, fate#322271)

Add more checks for valid ld.so.cache file (bsc#1110661, BZ #18093)

Added cfi information for start routines in order to stop unwinding (bsc#1128574)

ja_JP locale: Add entry for the new Japanese era (bsc#1100396, fate#325570, BZ #22964)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - glibc: Incorrect handling of RPATH in elf/dl-load.c can be used to execute code loaded from arbitrary     libraries (CVE-2017-16997)

(CVE-2009-5155)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

According to the versions of the glibc packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - In the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.28,     parse_reg_exp in posix/regcomp.c misparses     alternatives, which allows attackers to cause a denial     of service (assertion failure and application exit) or     trigger an incorrect result by attempting a     regular-expression match.(CVE-2009-5155)

  - In the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) through 2.29,     proceed_next_node in posix/regexec.c has a heap-based     buffer over-read via an attempted case-insensitive     regular-expression match.(CVE-2019-9169)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The version of glibc installed on the remote host is prior to 2.26-62. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2022-1869 advisory.

  - In the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.28, parse_reg_exp in posix/regcomp.c misparses     alternatives, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit)     or trigger an incorrect result by attempting a regular-expression match. (CVE-2009-5155)

  - The pop_fail_stack function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) allows context-dependent attackers     to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application crash) via vectors related to extended     regular expression processing. (CVE-2015-8985)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
