Amazon Linux 2 : 389-ds-base (ALAS-2020-1381)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 133092

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of 389-ds-base installed on the remote host is prior to 1.3.9.1-12. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2020-1381 advisory.

 A flaw was found in the 'deref' plugin of 389-ds-base where it could use the 'search' permission to display attribute values. In some configurations, this could allow an authenticated attacker to view private attributes, such as password hashes. (CVE-2019-14824)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Run 'yum update 389-ds-base' to update your system.
