Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of jettison installed on the remote host is prior to 1.3.3-4. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2363 advisory.

- Those using Jettison to parse untrusted XML or JSON data may be vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks (DOS). If the parser is running on user supplied input, an attacker may supply content that causes the parser to crash by stackoverflow. This effect may support a denial of service attack. (CVE-2022-40149)

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

Solution

Run 'yum update jettison' to update your system.
