Synopsis

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

Description

The version of LibRaw installed on the remote host is prior to 0.19.4-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2256 advisory.

Buffer Overflow vulnerability in LibRaw::stretch() function in libraw\src\postprocessing\aspect_ratio.cpp.
(CVE-2020-22628)
