Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2023 host is missing a security update.

Description

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-533 advisory.

2024-05-09: CVE-2022-33099 was added to this advisory.

In Lua 5.4.3, an erroneous finalizer called during a tail call leads to a heap-based buffer over-read.
(CVE-2021-45985)

An issue in the component luaG_runerror of Lua v5.4.4 and below leads to a heap-buffer overflow when a recursive error occurs. (CVE-2022-33099)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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

Solution

Run 'dnf update lua --releasever 2023.3.20240219' to update your system.
