critical Nessus Plugin ID 327391

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 ALAS2023-2026-1905 advisory.

A logic error in CRL distribution point validation in AWS-LC before 1.71.0 causes partitioned CRLs to be incorrectly rejected as out of scope, which allows a revoked certificate to bypass certificate revocation checks.

To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to AWS-LC 1.71.0 or AWS-LC-FIPS-3.3.0. (CVE-2026-4428)

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 aws-nitro-tpm-tools --releasever 2023.12.20260706' or or 'dnf update --advisory ALAS2023-2026-1905 --releasever 2023.12.20260706' to update your system.
