Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2023 host is missing a security update.

Description

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-567 advisory.

- An issue in Wireshark before 4.2.0 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via the packet- bgp.c, dissect_bgp_open(tvbuff_t*tvb, proto_tree*tree, packet_info*pinfo), optlen components. NOTE: this is disputed by the vendor because neither release 4.2.0 nor any other release was affected.
(CVE-2024-24478)

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