Amazon Linux 2023 : guava, guava-javadoc, guava-testlib (ALAS2023-2026-3419)

high Nessus Plugin ID 377951

Synopsis

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

Description

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-3419 advisory.

 Allocation of resources without limits or throttling (CWE-770) during Java object deserialization in Google Guava versions 4.0 through 33.7.1 allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service via OutOfMemoryError. When deserializing CompactHashMap, CompactHashSet, or MapMakerInternalMap instances, Guava eagerly allocates an array based on a caller-specified size parameter without throttling, permitting memory exhaustion from crafted serialization streams. (CVE-2026-102554)

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 guava --releasever 2023.12.20261109' or or 'dnf update --advisory ALAS2023-2026-3419 --releasever 2023.12.20261109' to update your system.
