Backport fix for CVE-2020-26159

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

The version of tested product installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2020-1560 advisory.

  - In Oniguruma 6.9.5_rev1, an attacker able to supply a regular expression for compilation may be able to     overflow a buffer by one byte in concat_opt_exact_str in src/regcomp.c . (CVE-2020-26159)

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

An update of the oniguruma package has been released.

It was discovered that CVE-2020-26159 in the Oniguruma regular expressions library, notably used in PHP mbstring, was a false-positive. In consequence the patch for CVE-2020-26159 was reverted. For reference, the original advisory text follows.

CVE-2020-26159

In Oniguruma an attacker able to supply a regular expression for compilation may be able to overflow a buffer by one byte in concat_opt_exact_str in src/regcomp.c

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 6.1.3-2+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libonig packages.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 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.

  - oniguruma: integer overflow in search_in_range function in regexec.c leads to out-of-bounds read     (CVE-2019-19012)

  - php: phar Buffer mismanagement (CVE-2023-3824)

  - main/streams/xp_socket.c in PHP 7.x before 2017-03-07 misparses fsockopen calls, such as by interpreting     fsockopen('127.0.0.1:80', 443) as if the address/port were 127.0.0.1:80:443, which is later truncated to     127.0.0.1:80. This behavior has a security risk if the explicitly provided port number (i.e., 443 in this     example) is hardcoded into an application as a security policy, but the hostname argument (i.e.,     127.0.0.1:80 in this example) is obtained from untrusted input. (CVE-2017-7189)

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 SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:3327-1 advisory.

  - A use-after-free in onig_new_deluxe() in regext.c in Oniguruma 6.9.2 allows attackers to potentially cause     information disclosure, denial of service, or possibly code execution by providing a crafted regular     expression. The attacker provides a pair of a regex pattern and a string, with a multi-byte encoding that     gets handled by onig_new_deluxe(). Oniguruma issues often affect Ruby, as well as common optional     libraries for PHP and Rust. (CVE-2019-13224)

  - Oniguruma before 6.9.3 allows Stack Exhaustion in regcomp.c because of recursion in regparse.c.
    (CVE-2019-16163)

  - An issue was discovered in Oniguruma 6.x before 6.9.4_rc2. In the function gb18030_mbc_enc_len in file     gb18030.c, a UChar pointer is dereferenced without checking if it passed the end of the matched string.
    This leads to a heap-based buffer over-read. (CVE-2019-19203)

  - An issue was discovered in Oniguruma 6.x before 6.9.4_rc2. In the function fetch_interval_quantifier     (formerly known as fetch_range_quantifier) in regparse.c, PFETCH is called without checking PEND. This     leads to a heap-based buffer over-read. (CVE-2019-19204)

  - Oniguruma through 6.9.3, as used in PHP 7.3.x and other products, has a heap-based buffer over-read in     str_lower_case_match in regexec.c. (CVE-2019-19246)

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