Synopsis
The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.Description
It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2ANSIBLE2-2023-007 advisory.- In httplib2 before version 0.18.0, an attacker controlling unescaped part of uri for `httplib2.Http.request()` could change request headers and body, send additional hidden requests to same server. This vulnerability impacts software that uses httplib2 with uri constructed by string concatenation, as opposed to proper urllib building with escaping. This has been fixed in 0.18.0.
(CVE-2020-11078)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
