high Nessus Plugin ID 144801

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of golang installed on the remote host is prior to 1.15.5-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2021-1578 advisory.

 Go before 1.14.12 and 1.15.x before 1.15.4 allows Denial of Service. (CVE-2020-28362)

 Go before 1.14.12 and 1.15.x before 1.15.5 allows Code Injection. (CVE-2020-28366)

 Go before 1.14.12 and 1.15.x before 1.15.5 allows Argument Injection. (CVE-2020-28367)

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 golang' to update your system.
