Synopsis

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

Description

The version of squid installed on the remote host is prior to 4.15-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2SQUID4-2023-002 advisory.

A flaw was found in squid. A trusted client can directly access the cache manager information, bypassing the manager ACL protection and resulting in information disclosure. (CVE-2022-41317)

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.
