Synopsis

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

Description

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2022-2022-103 advisory.

 An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in libarchive. This flaw allows an attacker who can supply a specially crafted zip file to libarchive to cause an out-of-bounds read in programs linked with libarchive, using the LZMA zip functionality. The consequences depend on the specific program linked with libarchive. Still, they would most likely result in an application crash or information disclosure that could be used in conjunction with another exploit. (CVE-2022-26280)

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 'dnf update --releasever=2022.0.20220628 libarchive' to update your system.
