Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains one low risk vulnerability.
1) Race condition
EUVDB-ID: #VU71689
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 1.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-46174
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition within the Amazon EFS mount helper when using TLS to mount file systems. The mount helper allocates a local port for stunnel to receive NFS connections prior to applying the TLS tunnel. As a result, concurrent mount operations can allocate the same local port, leading to either failed mount operations or an inappropriate mapping from an EFS customer’s local mount points to that customer’s EFS file systems.
MitigationUpdate the affected package aws-efs-utils to the latest version.
