Synopsis

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

Description

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2022-2022-208 advisory.

 The CIL compiler in SELinux 3.2 has a use-after-free in __cil_verify_classperms (called from
 __cil_verify_classpermission and __cil_pre_verify_helper). (CVE-2021-36084)

 The CIL compiler in SELinux 3.2 has a use-after-free in __cil_verify_classperms (called from
 __verify_map_perm_classperms and hashtab_map). (CVE-2021-36085)

 The CIL compiler in SELinux 3.2 has a use-after-free in cil_reset_classpermission (called from cil_reset_classperms_set and cil_reset_classperms_list). (CVE-2021-36086)

 The CIL compiler in SELinux 3.2 has a heap-based buffer over-read in ebitmap_match_any (called indirectly from cil_check_neverallow). This occurs because there is sometimes a lack of checks for invalid statements in an optional block. (CVE-2021-36087)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Run 'dnf update libsepol' to update your system.
