Rocky Linux 8 : keepalived (RLSA-2022:1930)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 161346

Synopsis

The remote Rocky Linux host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RLSA-2022:1930 advisory.

- In Keepalived through 2.2.4, the D-Bus policy does not sufficiently restrict the message destination, allowing any user to inspect and manipulate any property. This leads to access-control bypass in some situations in which an unrelated D-Bus system service has a settable (writable) property (CVE-2021-44225)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected keepalived, keepalived-debuginfo and / or keepalived-debugsource packages.
