"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced
in the ALINUX3-SA-2022:0039 advisory.
Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:
CVE-2019-3842:
In systemd before v242-rc4, it was discovered that pam_systemd does not properly sanitize the environment
before using the XDG_SEAT variable. It is possible for an attacker, in some particular configurations, to
set a XDG_SEAT environment variable which allows for commands to be checked against polkit policies using
the allow_active element rather than allow_any.
CVE-2020-13776:
systemd through v245 mishandles numerical usernames such as ones composed of decimal digits or 0x followed
by hex digits, as demonstrated by use of root privileges when privileges of the 0x0 user account were
intended. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-1000082.
CVE-2020-1712:
A heap use-after-free vulnerability was found in systemd before version v245-rc1, where asynchronous
Polkit queries are performed while handling dbus messages. A local unprivileged attacker can abuse this
flaw to crash systemd services or potentially execute code and elevate their privileges, by sending
specially crafted dbus messages.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
