Amazon Linux 2 : php (ALASPHP8.2-2023-003)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 182048

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of php installed on the remote host is prior to 8.2.1-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2PHP8.2-2023-003 advisory.

A flaw was found in PHP. This issue occurs due to an uncaught integer overflow in PDO::quote() of PDO_SQLite returning an improperly quoted string. With the implementation of sqlite3_snprintf(), it is possible to force the function to return a single apostrophe if the function is called on user-supplied input without any length restrictions in place. (CVE-2022-31631)

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 php' to update your system.
