Amazon Linux 2023 Security Advisory: ALAS-2023-450
Advisory Release Date: 2023-12-06 07:45 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2023-12-14 21:42 Pacific
Severity:
Low
Issue Overview:
A flaw was found in shadow-utils. When asking for a new password, shadow-utils asks the password twice. If the password fails on the second attempt, shadow-utils fails in cleaning the buffer used to store the first entry. This may allow an attacker with enough access to retrieve the password from the memory. (CVE-2023-4641)
Affected Packages:
shadow-utils
Issue Correction:
Run dnf update shadow-utils --releasever 2023.3.20231211 to update your system.
