Amazon Linux 2023: CVE-2024-35255: Important priority package update for amazon-cloudwatch-agent

Azure Identity Libraries and Microsoft Authentication Library Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
A flaw was found in Microsoft's Azure Identity Libraries and the Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL). The flaw arises from a race condition—a scenario where the timing of events leads to unexpected behavior—during concurrent operations on shared resources. This can result in privilege escalation, allowing attackers to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. The vulnerability affects multiple versions of these libraries across various programming languages, including Java, .NET, Node.js, Python, JavaScript, C++, and Go. Microsoft has addressed this issue by releasing updated versions of the affected libraries. Users are strongly advised to upgrade to these patched versions to mitigate potential security risks.
