ALAS2-2022-1801


Amazon Linux 2 Security Advisory: ALAS-2022-1801
Advisory Release Date: 2022-05-31 23:50 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2022-06-07 19:26 Pacific
Severity: Medium

Issue Overview:

The c_rehash script does not properly sanitise shell metacharacters to prevent command injection. This script is distributed by some operating systems in a manner where it is automatically executed. On such operating systems, an attacker could execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the script. Use of the c_rehash script is considered obsolete and should be replaced by the OpenSSL rehash command line tool. Fixed in OpenSSL 3.0.3 (Affected 3.0.0,3.0.1,3.0.2). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1o (Affected 1.1.1-1.1.1n). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2ze (Affected 1.0.2-1.0.2zd). (CVE-2022-1292)
