Photon OS 3.0: Keepalived PHSA-2022-3.0-0348

medium Nessus Plugin ID 156591

Synopsis

The remote PhotonOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

An update of the keepalived package has been released.

- In Keepalived through 2.2.4, the D-Bus policy does not sufficiently restrict the message destination, allowing any user to inspect and manipulate any property. This leads to access-control bypass in some situations in which an unrelated D-Bus system service has a settable (writable) property (CVE-2021-44225)

Solution

Update the affected Linux packages.
