Amazon Linux 2 : openldap (ALAS-2023-1958)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 171833

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of openldap installed on the remote host is prior to 2.4.44-23. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-1958 advisory.

 - In OpenLDAP 2.x before 2.5.12 and 2.6.x before 2.6.2, a SQL injection vulnerability exists in the experimental back-sql backend to slapd, via a SQL statement within an LDAP query. This can occur during an LDAP search operation when the search filter is processed, due to a lack of proper escaping.
 (CVE-2022-29155)

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 openldap' to update your system.
