Amazon Linux AMI : openldap (ALAS-2023-1691)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 171865

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of openldap installed on the remote host is prior to 2.4.40-16.32. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1691 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)

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

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.
