Is nginx on Elastic Beanstalk vulnerable to 1-byte memory overwrite?

0

We are working with a cybersecurity group to improve our overall cybersecurity on our applications. They have identified a possible problem on our Elastic Beanstalk environments. Even though they are up-to-deate as far as platform version goes on a currently supported platform (Ruby 2.7 Linux 2 with the latest version), they appear to run nginx 1.20.0. nginx 1.20.1 fixes the security vulnerability in question.

Is there a reasonable way for us to force usage of nginx 1.20.2? Absent that, any suggestions on how to remediate this issue?

So after further research, I am 95% sure that despite vulnerability scans showing that the instances are simply running nginx 1.20.0, they are in fact running release 2.amzn2.0.4 of nginx 1.20.0. The vulnerability was patched in release 2.amzn2.0.3. The problem remains getting the security scan to accept this. One solution found is detailed here - https://github.com/aws/elastic-beanstalk-roadmap/issues/194 - essentially force an install of nginx 1.20.1 (or 1.20.2).

  • This answer matches the info found here: https://github.com/aws/elastic-beanstalk-roadmap/issues/221 . This is potentially very confusing. We've wasted days on this particular issue to satisfy a pen test audit (it's not clear how to update or change the nginx packages being used in the beanstalk images).

    We also have a number of issues being flagged to CVE's related to openssh. This too appears to be an Amazon Specific build of openssh so it's currently unclear if these issues have been fixed and the pen test software is simply reporting a potential issue based on incorrectly understanding the package version that is running.
