CVE-2009-5155 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Amazon-Linux:2 glibc-langpack-or to version 0:2.26-62.amzn2 or higher.
This issue was patched in ALAS2-2022-1869.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream glibc-langpack-or package and not the glibc-langpack-or package as distributed by Amazon-Linux.
See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.28, parse_reg_exp in posix/regcomp.c misparses alternatives, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit) or trigger an incorrect result by attempting a regular-expression match.
