Synopsis

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

Description

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-093 advisory.

 A double-free vulnerability was found in libdwarf's dwarf_expand_frame_instructions() function of the dwarf_frame.c file. A carefully crafted object file could cause the 'dwarfdump' utility to do a double free in handling an error condition. This issue could cause a segmentation violation or other major error, terminating the calling application and resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2022-39170)

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 'dnf update libdwarf --releasever=2023.0.20230222 ' to update your system.
