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)

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.
