SB2023070139 - Anolis OS update for systemd

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) Improper Privilege Management (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-26604)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper privilege management for some Sudo configurations, e.g., plausible sudoers files in which the "systemctl status" command may be executed. Specifically, systemd does not set LESSSECURE to 1, and thus other programs may be launched from the less program. This presents a substantial security risk when running systemctl from Sudo, because less executes as root when the terminal size is too small to show the complete systemctl output.

2) Off-by-one (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3821)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an off-by-one error within the format_timespan() function in time-util.c. A local user can trigger an off-by-one error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
