FAQs regarding Amazon Linux ALAS/CVE Severity

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Issue Overview:

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's util-linux chfn and chsh utilities when
compiled with Readline support. The Readline library uses an "INPUTRC"
environment variable to get a path to the library config file. When the library
cannot parse the specified file, it prints an error message containing data from
the file. This flaw allows an unprivileged user to read root-owned files,
potentially leading to privilege escalation. (CVE-2022-0563)


Affected Packages:


util-linux


Issue Correction:
Run yum update util-linux to update your system.
