Amazon Linux 2 : libglvnd (ALAS-2025-2782)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 232354

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of libglvnd installed on the remote host is prior to 1.0.1-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2025-2782 advisory.

 libglxproto.c in OpenGL libglvnd bb06db5a was discovered to contain a segmentation violation via the function glXGetDrawableScreen(). NOTE: this is disputed because there are no common situations in which users require uninterrupted operation with an attacker-controller server. (CVE-2023-45924)

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 libglvnd' to update your system.
