Synopsis

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

Description

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2022-2023-281 advisory.

 Enhance DTLS performance: DTLS does not avail itself of the HelloVerifyRequest message which opens opportunities for DoS. (CVE-2023-21835)

 Better Banking of Sounds: JARSoundbankReader can load classes from remote URLs. (CVE-2023-21843)

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 java-17-amazon-corretto' to update your system.
