Amazon Linux 2023 : compat-libpthread-nonshared, glibc, glibc-all-langpacks (ALAS2023-2025-1179)
medium Nessus Plugin ID 264828
Language:
Synopsis
The remote Amazon Linux 2023 host is missing a security update.Description
It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-1179 advisory.The regcomp function in the GNU C library version from 2.4 to 2.41 is subject to a double free if some previous allocation fails. It can be accomplished either by a malloc failure or by using an interposed malloc that injects random malloc failures. The double free can allow buffer manipulation depending of how the regex is constructed. This issue affects all architectures and ABIs supported by the GNU C library.
(CVE-2025-8058)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Run 'dnf update glibc --releasever 2023.8.20250915' or or 'dnf update --advisory ALAS2023-2025-1179 --releasever 2023.8.20250915' to update your system.See Also
