Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of graphviz installed on the remote host is prior to 2.38.0-18.52. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS-2021-1513 advisory.

 - Buffer Overflow in Graphviz Graph Visualization Tools from commit ID f8b9e035 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) by loading a crafted file into the lib/common/shapes.c component. (CVE-2020-18032)

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 graphviz' to update your system.
