high Nessus Plugin ID 200383

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of unixODBC installed on the remote host is prior to 2.3.1-15. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2565 advisory.

An out-of-bounds stack write flaw was found in unixODBC on 64-bit architectures where the caller has 4 bytes and callee writes 8 bytes. This issue may go unnoticed on little-endian architectures, while big- endian architectures can be broken. (CVE-2024-1013)

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 unixODBC' to update your system.
