The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has glibc packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in glibc before 2.31 when handling signal trampolines on     PowerPC. Specifically, the backtrace function did not properly check the array bounds when storing the     frame address, resulting in a denial of service or potential code execution. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2020-1751)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability introduced in glibc upstream version 2.14 was found in the way the tilde     expansion was carried out. Directory paths containing an initial tilde followed by a valid username were     affected by this issue. A local attacker could exploit this flaw by creating a specially crafted path     that, when processed by the glob function, would potentially lead to arbitrary code execution. This was     fixed in version 2.32. (CVE-2020-1752)

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

This update incorporates fixes from the upstream glibc 2.30 stable release branch, including 3 fixes for medium severity security vulnerabilities. (CVE-2020-10029, CVE-2020-1752, CVE-2020-1751)

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

  - When unwinding through a signal frame the backtrace     function on PowerPC didn't check array bounds when     storing the frame address.(CVE-2020-1751)

According to the versions of the glibc packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in glibc     when handling signal trampolines on PowerPC. The     backtrace function did not properly check the array     bounds when storing the frame address resulting in a     denial of service or potential code execution. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to system     availability.(CVE-2020-1751)
