Amazon Linux 2 : dbus (ALAS-2023-2006)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 173909

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of dbus installed on the remote host is prior to 1.10.24-7. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2006 advisory.

An issue was discovered in D-Bus before 1.12.24, 1.13.x and 1.14.x before 1.14.4, and 1.15.x before 1.15.2. An authenticated attacker can cause dbus-daemon and other programs that use libdbus to crash when receiving a message with certain invalid type signatures. (CVE-2022-42010)

An issue was discovered in D-Bus before 1.12.24, 1.13.x and 1.14.x before 1.14.4, and 1.15.x before 1.15.2. An authenticated attacker can cause dbus-daemon and other programs that use libdbus to crash when receiving a message where an array length is inconsistent with the size of the element type.
(CVE-2022-42011)

An issue was discovered in D-Bus before 1.12.24, 1.13.x and 1.14.x before 1.14.4, and 1.15.x before 1.15.2. An authenticated attacker can cause dbus-daemon and other programs that use libdbus to crash by sending a message with attached file descriptors in an unexpected format. (CVE-2022-42012)

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 'yum update dbus' to update your system.
