Amazon Linux 1 (EOL) Security Advisory: ALAS-2025-1958
Advisory Released Date: 2025-02-05
Advisory Updated Date: 2025-02-05
Severity:
Important
Issue Overview:
less through 653 allows OS command execution via a newline character in the name of a file, because quoting is mishandled in filename.c. Exploitation typically requires use with attacker-controlled file names, such as the files extracted from an untrusted archive. Exploitation also requires the LESSOPEN environment variable, but this is set by default in many common cases. (CVE-2024-32487)
Affected Packages:
less
Issue Correction:
Run yum update less to update your system.
