Synopsis

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

Description

The version of python-pillow installed on the remote host is prior to 2.0.0-23.gitd1c6db8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2022-1786 advisory.

A flaw was found in python-pillow. The vulnerability occurs due to improper initialization of image paths, leading to a buffer over-read and improper initialization. This flaw allows an attacker to unauthorized memory access that causes memory access errors, incorrect results, or crashes. (CVE-2022-22815)

A flaw was found in python-pillow. The vulnerability occurs due to Improper Neutralization, leading to command injection. This flaw allows an attacker to externally-influenced input commands that modify the intended command. (CVE-2022-22817)

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.
