Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of qt5-qtbase installed on the remote host is prior to 5.9.2-3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2421 advisory.

 - An issue was discovered in the HTTP2 implementation in Qt before 5.15.17, 6.x before 6.2.11, 6.3.x through 6.5.x before 6.5.4, and 6.6.x before 6.6.2. network/access/http2/hpacktable.cpp has an incorrect HPack integer overflow check. (CVE-2023-51714)
