The encoding/xml package in Go versions 1.15 and earlier does not correctly preserve the semantics of directives during tokenization round-trips, which allows an attacker to craft inputs that behave in conflicting ways during different stages of processing in affected downstream applications.

An update of the kubernetes package has been released.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - golang: crypto/elliptic implementations of P-521 and P-384 elliptic curves allow for denial of service     (CVE-2019-6486)

  - go: encoding/xml: XML element instability (CVE-2020-29511)

  - The x/text package before 0.3.3 for Go has a vulnerability in encoding/unicode that could lead to the     UTF-16 decoder entering an infinite loop, causing the program to crash or run out of memory. An attacker     could provide a single byte to a UTF16 decoder instantiated with UseBOM or ExpectBOM to trigger an     infinite loop if the String function on the Decoder is called, or the Decoder is passed to     golang.org/x/text/transform.String. (CVE-2020-14040)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - The encoding/xml package in Go (all versions) does not correctly preserve the semantics of attribute     namespace prefixes during tokenization round-trips, which allows an attacker to craft inputs that behave     in conflicting ways during different stages of processing in affected downstream applications.
    (CVE-2020-29509)
