high Nessus Plugin ID 173076

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2023 host is missing a security update.

Description

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-064 advisory.

A flaw was found in the Redis database where Lua scripts can be manipulated to overcome ACL rules. This flaw allows an attacker with access to Redis to inject Lua code that executes the potentially higher privileges of another Redis user. (CVE-2022-24735)

A flaw was found in the Redis database when a malformed Lua script can cause a NULL pointer dereference.
This flaw allows an attacker to load a crafting script, which results in a crash of the redis-server process. (CVE-2022-24736)

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 redis6 --releasever=2023.0.20230222 ' to update your system.
