Amazon Linux 2 : booth (ALAS-2023-2009)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 173908

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of booth installed on the remote host is prior to 1.0-8.ef769ef.git. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2009 advisory.

The authfile directive in the booth config file is ignored, preventing use of authentication in communications from node to node. As a result, nodes that do not have the correct authentication key are not prevented from communicating with other nodes in the cluster. (CVE-2022-2553)

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 booth' to update your system.
