Amazon Linux 2 : qt5-qtbase (ALAS-2024-2421)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 189321

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of qt5-qtbase installed on the remote host is prior to 5.9.2-3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2421 advisory.

 An issue was discovered in the HTTP2 implementation in Qt before 5.15.17, 6.x before 6.2.11, 6.3.x through 6.5.x before 6.5.4, and 6.6.x before 6.6.2. network/access/http2/hpacktable.cpp has an incorrect HPack integer overflow check. (CVE-2023-51714)

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 qt5-qtbase' to update your system.
