Amazon Linux AMI : glib2 (ALAS-2023-1769)

The version of glib2 installed on the remote host is prior to 2.36.3-5.25. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1769 advisory.

  • PCRE before 8.38 mishandles the interaction of lookbehind assertions and mutually recursive subpatterns, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted regular expression, as demonstrated by a JavaScript RegExp object encountered by Konqueror. (CVE-2015-8386)

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