"The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 7.3.1.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-7.3.1.1 advisory.
- setuptools is a package that allows users to download, build, install, upgrade, and uninstall Python
packages. A path traversal vulnerability in `PackageIndex` is present in setuptools prior to version
78.1.1. An attacker would be allowed to write files to arbitrary locations on the filesystem with the
permissions of the process running the Python code, which could escalate to remote code execution
depending on the context. Version 78.1.1 fixes the issue. (CVE-2025-47273)
- A vulnerability has been identified in the libarchive library, specifically within the
archive_read_format_rar_seek_data() function. This flaw involves an integer overflow that can ultimately
lead to a double-free condition. Exploiting a double-free vulnerability can result in memory corruption,
enabling an attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial-of-service condition. (CVE-2025-5914)
- There is a defect in the CPython tarfile module affecting the TarFile extraction and entry enumeration
APIs. The tar implementation would process tar archives with negative offsets without error, resulting in
an infinite loop and deadlock during the parsing of maliciously crafted tar archives. This vulnerability
can be mitigated by including the following patch after importing the tarfile module:
https://gist.github.com/sethmlarson/1716ac5b82b73dbcbf23ad2eff8b33e1 (CVE-2025-8194)
- A flaw was found in linux-pam. The module pam_namespace may use access user-controlled paths without
proper protection, allowing local users to elevate their privileges to root via multiple symlink attacks
and race conditions. (CVE-2025-6020)
- AIDE is an advanced intrusion detection environment. Prior to version 0.19.2, there is an improper output
neutralization vulnerability in AIDE. An attacker can craft a malicious filename by including terminal
escape sequences to hide the addition or removal of the file from the report and/or tamper with the log
output. A local user might exploit this to bypass the AIDE detection of malicious files. Additionally the
output of extended attribute key names and symbolic links targets are also not properly neutralized. This
issue has been patched in version 0.19.2. A workaround involves configuring AIDE to write the report
output to a regular file, redirecting stdout to a regular file, or redirecting the log output written to
stderr to a regular file. (CVE-2025-54389)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
