Amazon Linux 2022 : (ALAS2022-2022-196)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 167022

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2022 host is missing a security update.

Description

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2022-2022-196 advisory.

 - path_getbbox in path.c in Pillow before 9.0.0 has a buffer over-read during initialization of ImagePath.Path. (CVE-2022-22816)

 - PIL.ImageMath.eval in Pillow before 9.0.0 allows evaluation of arbitrary expressions, such as ones that use the Python exec method. A lambda expression could also be used, (CVE-2022-22817)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Run 'dnf update python-pillow --releasever=2022.0.20221102' to update your system.
