Synopsis
The remote Amazon Linux 2023 host is missing a security update.Description
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-579 advisory.2024-10-24: CVE-2024-31745 was added to this advisory.
In a multiply-corrupted DWARF object libdwarf may try to dealloc(free) an allocation twice.Results are unpredictable and various. This has been a possibility since we added code to prevent leaks when generating 'unattached' Dwarf_Error records (where there is no Dwarf_Debug available at the point of error).The problem was introduced in libdwarf-0.1.0 in 2021. (CVE-2024-2002)
Libdwarf v0.9.1 was discovered to contain a heap use-after-free via the dw_empty_errlist_item function at /libdwarf/dwarf_alloc.c. (CVE-2024-31745)
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 libdwarf --releasever 2023.4.20240401' to update your system.See Also
