SCA: security update for io.antmedia:ant-media-server (GHSA-qwhw-hh9j-54f5)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 418367

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Ant Media Server is live streaming engine software. A local privilege escalation vulnerability in present
 in versions 2.6.0 through 2.8.2 allows any unprivileged operating system user account to escalate
 privileges to the root user account on the system. This vulnerability arises from Ant Media Server running
 with Java Management Extensions (JMX) enabled and authentication disabled on localhost on port 5599/TCP.
 This vulnerability is nearly identical to the local privilege escalation vulnerability CVE-2023-26269
 identified in Apache James. Any unprivileged operating system user can connect to the JMX service running
 on port 5599/TCP on localhost and leverage the MLet Bean within JMX to load a remote MBean from an
 attacker-controlled server. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code within the Java process run
 by Ant Media Server and execute code within the context of the `antmedia` service account on the system.
 Version 2.9.0 contains a patch for the issue. As a workaround, one may remove certain parameters from the
 `antmedia.service` file. (CVE-2024-32656)
