high Nessus Plugin ID 332029
Synopsis
The remote Amazon Linux 2023 host is missing a security update.Description
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-2029 advisory.RAOP module accepts unbounded Content-Length values and does not check the pw_array_add() return.
(CVE-2026-14324)
Multiple unbounded alloca() calls in the PulseAudio protocol server. (CVE-2026-14330)
A flaw was found in PipeWire, a multimedia server. This vulnerability allows an attacker to escape sandboxed applications, such as Flatpak, by exploiting PipeWire's PulseAudio compatibility layer. An attacker with minimal permissions within a sandboxed environment can load a malicious library, leading to arbitrary code execution outside the sandbox and potential compromise of the user's system.
(CVE-2026-5674)
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 pipewire --releasever 2023.12.20260803' or or 'dnf update --advisory ALAS2023-2026-2029 --releasever 2023.12.20260803' to update your system.See Also
