Amazon Linux 2 : dbus (ALAS-2024-2428)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 189319

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of dbus installed on the remote host is prior to 1.10.24-7. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2428 advisory.

 - D-Bus before 1.15.6 sometimes allows unprivileged users to crash dbus-daemon. If a privileged user with control over the dbus-daemon is using the org.freedesktop.DBus.Monitoring interface to monitor message bus traffic, then an unprivileged user with the ability to connect to the same dbus-daemon can cause a dbus- daemon crash under some circumstances via an unreplyable message. When done on the well-known system bus, this is a denial-of-service vulnerability. The fixed versions are 1.12.28, 1.14.8, and 1.15.6.
 (CVE-2023-34969)

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 dbus' to update your system.
