How to protect CentOS 7 from Nimbuspwn?

Post by kapi » 2022/05/18 11:20:41

Dear CentOS Community,

Recently a vulnerability named Nimbuspwn has been discovered:

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/s ... rivileges/

Is there a security patch for CentOS 7 addressing this threat?
If not then what should we do to protect our systems? (other than changing to another system)

I've already done some googling and haven't found any solution for CentOS.

Thank you!

https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2022-29799
https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2022-29800

Both say
This issue does not affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 7, 8, and 9 as the networkd-dispatcher package is currently not provided in any of our supported products.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke
