Amazon Linux AMI : lzo (ALAS-2014-373)

high Nessus Plugin ID 78316

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the lzo library decompressed certain archives compressed with the LZO algorithm. An attacker could create a specially crafted LZO-compressed input that, when decompressed by an application using the lzo library, would cause that application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2014-4607)

Solution

Run 'yum update lzo' to update your system.
