Amazon Linux 2023 : aws-nitro-enclaves-cli, aws-nitro-enclaves-cli-devel, aws-nitro-enclaves-cli-integration-tests (ALAS2023-2026-2034)

high Nessus Plugin ID 332036

Synopsis

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

Description

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-2034 advisory.

 rust-openssl provides OpenSSL bindings for the Rust programming language. From 0.9.7 to before 0.10.79, X509Ref::ocsp_responders returns OCSP responder URLs from a certificate's AIA extension as OpensslString, whose Deref<Target = str> wraps the raw bytes with str::from_utf8_unchecked. OpenSSL does not enforce that the underlying IA5String is ASCII, so a certificate with non-UTF-8 bytes in its OCSP accessLocation causes safe Rust code to construct a &str that violates the UTF-8 invariant -- resulting in undefined behavior.
 This vulnerability is fixed in 0.10.79. (CVE-2026-42327)

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-enclaves-cli --releasever 2023.12.20260803' or or 'dnf update --advisory ALAS2023-2026-2034 --releasever 2023.12.20260803' to update your system.
