Amazon Linux AMI : python38 (ALAS-2022-1651)

The version of python38 installed on the remote host is prior to 3.8.5-1.6. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS-2022-1651 advisory.

  • The Keccak XKCP SHA-3 reference implementation before fdc6fef has an integer overflow and resultant buffer overflow that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or eliminate expected cryptographic properties.
    This occurs in the sponge function interface. (CVE-2022-37454)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
