The version of aws-kinesis-agent installed on the remote host is prior to 2.0.4-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2021-1730 advisory.

    Amazon Kinesis Agent versions within Amazon Linux 2 (AL2) prior to aws-kinesis-agent-2.0.4-1 included a     version of Apache Log4j affected by CVE-2021-44228 and CVE-2021-45046. The Amazon Kinesis Agent has been     updated to aws-kinesis-agent-2.0.4-1 within Amazon Linux 2 that mitigates CVE-2021-44228 and     CVE-2021-45046. For additional detail see https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-agent.
