Amazon Linux AMI : cairo (ALAS-2020-1392)

high Nessus Plugin ID 138634

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of cairo installed on the remote host is prior to 1.12.14-6.9. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS-2020-1392 advisory.

 The fill_xrgb32_lerp_opaque_spans function in cairo-image-compositor.c in cairo before 1.14.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a negative span length. (CVE-2016-3190)

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 cairo' to update your system.
