Amazon Linux 2 : git (ALAS-2022-1820)

high Nessus Plugin ID 163321

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of git installed on the remote host is prior to 2.37.1-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2022-1820 advisory.

 A vulnerability was found in Git. This flaw occurs due to Git not checking the ownership of directories in a local multi-user system when running commands specified in the local repository configuration. This issue allows the owner of the repository to cause arbitrary commands to be executed by other users who access the repository. (CVE-2022-29187)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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 git' to update your system.
