This month

HIGH 7.2UPGRADE

CVE-2023-49329 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.2) affecting match. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Anomali Match before 4.6.2 allows OS Command Injection. An authenticated admin user can inject and execute operating system commands. This arises from improper handling of untrusted input, enabling an attacker to elevate privileges, execute system commands, and potentially compromise the underlying operating system. The fixed versions are 4.4.5, 4.5.4, and 4.6.2. The earliest affected version is 4.3.

Why this priority

High severity

A fixed release or distro patch exists.

Fixed in: 4.4.5, 4.5.4, 4.6.2

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 4.3

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy match || rpm -q match || match --version

2. UPGRADE to 4.4.5 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade match

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade match

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 4.3 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison match sudo apt install match=<VERSION_BEFORE_4.3> sudo apt-mark hold match

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list match sudo dnf downgrade match-<VERSION_BEFORE_4.3> sudo dnf versionlock add match

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
