Anolis OS update for gcc-toolset-11-gcc

1) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU57848

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-42574

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass certain security checks.

The vulnerability exists in the Bidirectional Algorithm in the Unicode Specification. It permits the visual reordering of characters via control sequences, which can be used to craft source code that renders different logic than the logical ordering of tokens ingested by compilers and interpreters.

An attacker can leverage this behavior to encode source code for compilers accepting Unicode such that targeted vulnerabilities are introduced invisibly to human reviewers.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.
