    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2023-4641:
    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.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux security advisory.

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