"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2025:0179 advisory.
Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:
CVE-2024-38519:
`yt-dlp` and `youtube-dl` are command-line audio/video downloaders. Prior to the fixed versions,`yt-dlp`
and `youtube-dl` do not limit the extensions of downloaded files, which could lead to arbitrary filenames
being created in the download folder (and path traversal on Windows). Since `yt-dlp` and `youtube-dl` also
read config from the working directory (and on Windows executables will be executed from the `yt-dlp` or
`youtube-dl` directory), this could lead to arbitrary code being executed.
`yt-dlp` version 2024.07.01 fixes this issue by whitelisting the allowed extensions. `youtube-dl` fixes
this issue in commit `d42a222` on the `master` branch and in nightly builds tagged 2024-07-03 or later.
This might mean some very uncommon extensions might not get downloaded, however it will also limit the
possible exploitation surface. In addition to upgrading, have `.%(ext)s` at the end of the output template
and make sure the user trusts the websites that they are downloading from. Also, make sure to never
download to a directory within PATH or other sensitive locations like one's user directory, `system32`, or
other binaries locations. For users who are not able to upgrade, keep the default output template (`-o
%(title)s [%(id)s].%(ext)s`); make sure the extension of the media to download is a common
video/audio/sub/... one; try to avoid the generic extractor; and/or use `--ignore-config --config-location
...` to not load config from common locations.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
