Amazon Linux 2 : atril (ALASMATE-DESKTOP1.X-2024-006)

high Nessus Plugin ID 190808

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of atril installed on the remote host is prior to 1.20.2-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2MATE-DESKTOP1.X-2024-006 advisory.

Atril Document Viewer is the default document reader of the MATE desktop environment for Linux. A path traversal and arbitrary file write vulnerability exists in versions of Atril prior to 1.26.2. This vulnerability is capable of writing arbitrary files anywhere on the filesystem to which the user opening a crafted document has access. The only limitation is that this vulnerability cannot be exploited to overwrite existing files, but that doesn't stop an attacker from achieving Remote Command Execution on the target system. Version 1.26.2 of Atril contains a patch for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-52076)

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 atril' to update your system.
