critical Nessus Plugin ID 168866
Synopsis
The remote AlmaLinux host is missing a security update.Description
The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALSA-2022:9058 advisory.- SnakeYaml's Constructor() class does not restrict types which can be instantiated during deserialization.
Deserializing yaml content provided by an attacker can lead to remote code execution. We recommend using SnakeYaml's SafeConsturctor when parsing untrusted content to restrict deserialization. (CVE-2022-1471)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Update the affected packages.See Also
