Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2023 host is missing a security update.

Description

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-295 advisory.

 - A directory traversal problem in the URL decoder of librsvg before 2.56.3 could be used by local or remote attackers to disclose files (on the local filesystem outside of the expected area), as demonstrated by href=.?../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd in an xi:include element. (CVE-2023-38633)

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