Synopsis

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

Description

The version of qt5-qtbase installed on the remote host is prior to 5.9.2-3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2020-1397 advisory.

 An issue was discovered in Qt before 5.11.3. A malformed GIF image causes a NULL pointer dereference in QGifHandler resulting in a segmentation fault.(CVE-2018-19870)

 QXmlStream in Qt 5.x before 5.11.3 has a double-free or corruption during parsing of a specially crafted illegal XML document. (CVE-2018-15518)

 An issue was discovered in Qt before 5.11.3. QBmpHandler has a buffer overflow via BMP data.
 (CVE-2018-19873)

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

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

Solution

Run 'yum update qt5-qtbase' to update your system.
