Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-46174)
The 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.
