Amazon Linux 2 : resteasy-base (ALAS-2024-2398)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 187827

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of resteasy-base installed on the remote host is prior to 3.0.6-4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2398 advisory.

 - A flaw was found in RESTEasy in all versions of RESTEasy up to 4.6.0.Final. The endpoint class and method names are returned as part of the exception response when RESTEasy cannot convert one of the request URI path or query values to the matching JAX-RS resource method's parameter value. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality. (CVE-2021-20289)

 - In RESTEasy the insecure File.createTempFile() is used in the DataSourceProvider, FileProvider and Mime4JWorkaround classes which creates temp files with insecure permissions that could be read by a local user. (CVE-2023-0482)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Run 'yum update resteasy-base' to update your system.
