Synopsis

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

Description

The version of haproxy2 installed on the remote host is prior to 2.2.17-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2HAPROXY2-2023-001 advisory.

A flaw was found in the way HAProxy processed HTTP responses containing the Set-Cookie2 header. This flaw could allow an attacker to send crafted HTTP response packets which lead to an infinite loop, eventually resulting in a denial of service condition. The highest threat from this vulnerability is availability.
(CVE-2022-0711)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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 haproxy2' to update your system.
