Amazon Linux 2 : qt5-qtbase (ALAS-2020-1543)

high Nessus Plugin ID 141971

Language:

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 ALAS2-2020-1543 advisory.

2023-08-03: CVE-2020-24742 was added to this advisory.

Files placed by attacker can influence the working directory and lead to malicious code execution (CVE-2020-0569)

Uncontrolled search path in the QT Library before 5.14.0, 5.12.7 and 5.9.10 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable elevation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2020-0570)

An issue has been fixed in Qt versions 5.14.0 where QPluginLoader attempts to load plugins relative to the working directory, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted files. (CVE-2020-24742)

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.
