Amazon Linux 2022 : libldb (ALAS2022-2022-247)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 168557

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of libldb installed on the remote host is prior to 2.5.2-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2022-2022-247 advisory.

 - A flaw was found in the Samba AD LDAP server. The AD DC database audit logging module can access LDAP message values freed by a preceding database module, resulting in a use-after-free issue. This issue is only possible when modifying certain privileged attributes, such as userAccountControl. (CVE-2022-32746)

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 libldb' to update your system.
