Amazon Linux 2022 : openssl1.1 (ALAS2022-2022-105)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 164715

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2022 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of openssl1.1 installed on the remote host is prior to 1.1.1l-2. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2022-2022-105 advisory.

 - The c_rehash script does not properly sanitise shell metacharacters to prevent command injection. This script is distributed by some operating systems in a manner where it is automatically executed. On such operating systems, an attacker could execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the script. Use of the c_rehash script is considered obsolete and should be replaced by the OpenSSL rehash command line tool.
 Fixed in OpenSSL 3.0.3 (Affected 3.0.0,3.0.1,3.0.2). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1o (Affected 1.1.1-1.1.1n).
 Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2ze (Affected 1.0.2-1.0.2zd). (CVE-2022-1292)

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 openssl1.1' to update your system.
