Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of inkscape installed on the remote host is prior to 0.92.2-3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2043 advisory.

Inkscape 0.91 is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds read, which may allow an attacker to have access to unauthorized information. (CVE-2021-42700)

Inkscape version 0.91 can access an uninitialized pointer, which may allow an attacker to have access to unauthorized information. (CVE-2021-42702)

Inkscape version 0.91 is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds write, which may allow an attacker to arbitrary execute code. (CVE-2021-42704)

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 inkscape' to update your system.
