Synopsis
The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.Description
The version of fribidi installed on the remote host is prior to 1.0.2-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2054 advisory.- A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the Fribidi package and affects the fribidi_cap_rtl_to_unicode() function of the fribidi-char-sets-cap-rtl.c file. This flaw allows an attacker to pass a specially crafted file to the Fribidi application with the '--caprtl' option, leading to a crash and causing a denial of service. (CVE-2022-25309)
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 fribidi' to update your system.See Also
