Amazon Linux 2 : pcs (ALAS-2023-1905)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 170448

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of pcs installed on the remote host is prior to 0.9.169-3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-1905 advisory.

 - jQuery before 3.4.0, as used in Drupal, Backdrop CMS, and other products, mishandles jQuery.extend(true, {}, ...) because of Object.prototype pollution. If an unsanitized source object contained an enumerable
 __proto__ property, it could extend the native Object.prototype. (CVE-2019-11358)

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 pcs' to update your system.
