Synopsis

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

Description

The version of 389-admin installed on the remote host is prior to 1.1.46-5.14. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS-2022-1619 advisory.

- A flaw was found in 389-ds-base. If an asterisk is imported as password hashes, either accidentally or maliciously, then instead of being inactive, any password will successfully match during authentication.
This flaw allows an attacker to successfully authenticate as a user whose password was disabled.
