"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0581 advisory.
Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:
CVE-2023-6246:
A heap-based buffer overflow was found in the __vsyslog_internal function of the glibc library. This
function is called by the syslog and vsyslog functions. This issue occurs when the openlog function was
not called, or called with the ident argument set to NULL, and the program name (the basename of argv[0])
is bigger than 1024 bytes, resulting in an application crash or local privilege escalation. This issue
affects glibc 2.36 and newer.
CVE-2023-6779:
An off-by-one heap-based buffer overflow was found in the __vsyslog_internal function of the glibc
library. This function is called by the syslog and vsyslog functions. This issue occurs when these
functions are called with a message bigger than INT_MAX bytes, leading to an incorrect calculation of the
buffer size to store the message, resulting in an application crash. This issue affects glibc 2.37 and
newer.
CVE-2023-6780:
An integer overflow was found in the __vsyslog_internal function of the glibc library. This function is
called by the syslog and vsyslog functions. This issue occurs when these functions are called with a very
long message, leading to an incorrect calculation of the buffer size to store the message, resulting in
undefined behavior. This issue affects glibc 2.37 and newer.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent 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.");
