Category Description

Security updates

Applied all security updates published in the Amazon Linux Security Center on or before February 28, 2023 to all Amazon Linux 2 platforms.

Some of the platform updates are security releases. For more information, see Platform-specific updates in this table.

Cross-platform updates

Made these cross-platform updates:

Component Update

AMI

Updated the base AMI to version 2.0.20230221.

Apache

Updated platforms supporting the Apache HTTP Server 2.4 to version 2.4.55. For details, see Changes with Apache 2.4.55 on the Apache Software Foundation website.

The Apache 2.4.55 release is a security release.

Nginx

Disabled the server_tokens directive in the nginx configuration file by setting server_tokens off.

Nginx enables the server_tokens directive by default. This default setting allows the nginx version number to appear in all automatically generated error pages and in all HTTP responses in the server header. External knowledge of the nginx server version is unnecessary, so we've made this configuration change as a security hardening measure. For more information about the server_tokens directive, see the nginx documentation. Also, see the General Best Practices section of the PCI DSS Best Practices with NGINX Plus page on the nginx blog site.
