Synopsis
The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.Description
The version of wireshark installed on the remote host is prior to 2.6.2-15. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2113 advisory.- Due to failure in validating the length provided by an attacker-crafted MSMMS packet, Wireshark version 4.0.5 and prior, in an unusual configuration, is susceptible to a heap-based buffer overflow, and possibly code execution in the context of the process running Wireshark (CVE-2023-0667)
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 wireshark' to update your system.See Also
