Amazon Linux 2023 : capstone, capstone-devel, capstone-java (ALAS2023-2026-1772)

low Nessus Plugin ID 319832

Synopsis

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

Description

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1772 advisory.

Capstone is a disassembly framework. In versions 6.0.0-Alpha5 and prior, an unchecked vsnprintf return in SStream_concat lets a malicious cs_opt_mem.vsnprintf drive SStream's index negative or past the end, leading to a stack buffer underflow/overflow when the next write occurs. Commit 2c7797182a1618be12017d7d41e0b6581d5d529e fixes the issue. (CVE-2025-68114)

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 capstone --releasever 2023.12.20260608' or or 'dnf update --advisory ALAS2023-2026-1772 --releasever 2023.12.20260608' to update your system.
