HIGH 7.5REMOTEUPGRADE

CVE-2023-29731 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.5) affecting solive. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

SoLive 1.6.14 thru 1.6.20 for Android has an exposed component that provides a method to modify the SharedPreference file. An attacker can leverage this method to inject a large amount of data into any SharedPreference file, which will be loaded into memory when the application is opened. When an attacker injects too much data, the application will trigger an OOM error and crash at startup, resulting in a persistent denial of service.

loka solive UPGRADE

Affected: >= 1.6.14 and <= 1.6.20

Fixed in: newer than 1.6.20

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.6.14

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy solive || rpm -q solive || solive --version

2. UPGRADE to newer than 1.6.20 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade solive

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade solive

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 1.6.14 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison solive sudo apt install solive=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.6.14> sudo apt-mark hold solive

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list solive sudo dnf downgrade solive-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.6.14> sudo dnf versionlock add solive

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
