An update is available for less.
This update affects Rocky Linux 8.
A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE list
The “less” utility is a text file browser that resembles “more”, but allows users to move backwards in the file as well as forwards. Since “less” does not read the entire input file at startup, it also starts more quickly than ordinary text editors.

Security Fix(es):

  • less: missing quoting of shell metacharacters in LESSCLOSE handling (CVE-2022-48624)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
