[R5] SecurityCenter 5.4.3 Fixes Multiple Vulnerabilities

Medium

Synopsis

SecurityCenter has recently been discovered to contain several vulnerabilities. Four issues in the SC code were discovered during internal testing by Barry Clark, and several third-party libraries were upgraded as part of our internal security process. Note that the library vulnerabilities were not fully diagnosed so SecurityCenter is possibly impacted. Tenable opted to upgrade the libraries as it was more efficient than diagnosing each issue. Details of the issues are below, with VDB IDs and/or internal IDs for your tracking pleasure. Note that not all library vulnerabilities have a CVE assignment:

  • PHP ext/phar/phar.c phar_parse_pharfile() Function Phar Archive Handling Out-of-bounds Read DoS
  • PHP ext/exif/exif.c exif_convert_any_to_int() Function TIFF / JPEG Image Tag Handling Floating Pointer Exception Remote DoS (CVE-2016-10158)
