Synopsis

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

Description

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1804 advisory.

 Heap-based buffer overflow in .NET allows an unauthorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
 (CVE-2026-32177)

 Loop with unreachable exit condition ('infinite loop') in ASP.NET Core allows an unauthorized attacker to deny service over a network. (CVE-2026-42899)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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

Solution

Run 'dnf update dotnet8.0 --releasever 2023.12.20260608' or or 'dnf update --advisory ALAS2023-2026-1804 --releasever 2023.12.20260608' to update your system.
