Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of grilo installed on the remote host is prior to 0.3.6-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2306 advisory.

- In GNOME grilo though 0.3.13, grl-net-wc.c does not enable TLS certificate verification on the SoupSessionAsync objects it creates, leaving users vulnerable to network MITM attacks. NOTE: this is similar to CVE-2016-20011. (CVE-2021-39365)

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 grilo' to update your system.
