CentOS 9 : keepalived-2.2.4-2.el9

medium Nessus Plugin ID 191363

Language:

Synopsis

The remote CentOS host is missing a security update for keepalived.

Description

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the keepalived-2.2.4-2.el9 build changelog.

- In Keepalived through 2.2.4, the D-Bus policy does not sufficiently restrict the message destination, allowing any user to inspect and manipulate any property. This leads to access-control bypass in some situations in which an unrelated D-Bus system service has a settable (writable) property (CVE-2021-44225)

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

Solution

Update the CentOS 9 Stream keepalived package.
