Amazon Linux AMI : cyrus-imapd (ALAS-2022-1559)

high Nessus Plugin ID 156870

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of cyrus-imapd installed on the remote host is prior to 2.4.22-1.10. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS-2022-1559 advisory.

 - Cyrus IMAP before 3.4.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (multiple-minute daemon hang) via input that is mishandled during hash-table interaction. Because there are many insertions into a single bucket, strcmp becomes slow. This is fixed in 3.4.2, 3.2.8, and 3.0.16. (CVE-2021-33582)

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 cyrus-imapd' to update your system.
