An issue was discovered in Bouncy Castle Java Cryptography APIs before BC 1.78. When endpoint identification is enabled in the BCJSSE and an SSL socket is created without an explicit hostname (as happens with HttpsURLConnection), hostname verification could be performed against a DNS-resolved IP address in some situations, opening up a possibility of DNS poisoning.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

(CVE-2024-34447)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0, and 14.1.2.0.0 versions of WebLogic Server installed on the remote host are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the January 2025 CPU advisory.

  - Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via T3, IIOP to compromise     Oracle WebLogic Server.  Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle WebLogic     Server. (CVE-2024-23635)

  - Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle     WebLogic Server.  While the vulnerability is in Oracle WebLogic Server, attacks may significantly impact additional     products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang     or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle WebLogic Server. (CVE-2023-7272)

  - Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle     WebLogic Server.  Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or     frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle WebLogic Server. (CVE-2024-47554)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-636 advisory.
