Amazon Linux 2023 : cargo-c (ALAS2023-2026-3381)

high Nessus Plugin ID 377904

Synopsis

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

Description

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-3381 advisory.

 gitoxide's gix-url crate (<= 0.32.0, fixed in 0.37.1) uses a hand-rolled URL parser that does not treat '?' or '#' as terminating the authority component, contrary to RFC 3986. As a consequence, gix-transport's HTTP redirect identity guard (can_reuse_identity) compares the wrong host and fails open. An attacker controlling a redirect response can craft a Location header of the form <attacker-authority>?@<original- authority> so that gitoxide sends the caller's HTTP Basic Authorization credentials to an unintended host.
 gix-transport is affected in versions <= 0.49.0 (fixed in 0.58.1). (CVE-2026-82247)

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 rust-cargo-c --releasever 2023.12.20261109' or or 'dnf update --advisory ALAS2023-2026-3381 --releasever 2023.12.20261109' to update your system.
