Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2985 advisory.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the Go programming language. An attacker could trigger a denial-of-service (DoS) or invalid cryptographic computation. CVE-2022-23772 Rat.SetString in math/big has an overflow that can lead to Uncontrolled Memory Consumption. CVE-2022-23806 Curve.IsOnCurve in crypto/elliptic can incorrectly return true in situations with a big.Int value that is not a valid field element. CVE-2022-24921 regexp.Compile allows stack exhaustion via a deeply nested expression. For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1.7.4-2+deb9u5. We recommend that you upgrade your golang-1.7 packages. For the detailed security status of golang-1.7 please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/golang-1.7 Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
