medium Nessus Plugin ID 182028

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of emr-puppet installed on the remote host is prior to 6.17.0-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2EMR-PUPPET-2023-001 advisory.

A flaw was discovered in Puppet Agent where the agent may silently ignore Augeas settings or may be vulnerable to a Denial of Service condition prior to the first 'pluginsync'. (CVE-2021-27025)

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 emr-puppet' to update your system.
