medium Nessus Plugin ID 210071

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of qt5-qtwebsockets installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.3-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2661 advisory.

An issue was discovered in HTTP2 in Qt before 5.15.18, 6.x before 6.2.13, 6.3.x through 6.5.x before 6.5.7, and 6.6.x through 6.7.x before 6.7.3. Code to make security-relevant decisions about an established connection may execute too early, because the encrypted() signal has not yet been emitted and processed..
(CVE-2024-39936)

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 qt5-qtwebsockets' to update your system.
