Amazon Linux 1 Security Advisory: ALAS-2023-1873
Advisory Release Date: 2023-10-30 23:31 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2023-11-03 17:58 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 yum update shadow-utils to update your system.
