high Nessus Plugin ID 168597

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of rsync installed on the remote host is prior to 3.0.6-12.14. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS-2022-1640 advisory.

 - zlib before 1.2.12 allows memory corruption when deflating (i.e., when compressing) if the input has many distant matches. (CVE-2018-25032)

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 rsync' to update your system.
