Synopsis

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

Description

The version of jettison installed on the remote host is prior to 1.3.3-4. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2053 advisory.

- An infinite recursion is triggered in Jettison when constructing a JSONArray from a Collection that contains a self-reference in one of its elements. This leads to a StackOverflowError exception being thrown. (CVE-2023-1436)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
