Amazon Linux 2 : containerd (ALASECS-2023-026)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 185919

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of containerd installed on the remote host is prior to 1.4.6-7. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2ECS-2023-026 advisory.

The OCI Distribution Spec project defines an API protocol to facilitate and standardize the distribution of content. In the OCI Image Specification, the manifest and index documents were not self-describing and documents with a single digest could be interpreted as either a manifest or an index. In the OCI Image Specification version 1.0.1 there is specified a recommendation that both manifest and index documents contain a `mediaType` field to identify the type of document. (CVE-2021-41190)

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 containerd' to update your system.
