The remote CentOS Linux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the CESA-2023:0446 advisory.

  - In net/http in Go before 1.18.6 and 1.19.x before 1.19.1, attackers can cause a denial of service because     an HTTP/2 connection can hang during closing if shutdown were preempted by a fatal error. (CVE-2022-27664)

  - Reader.Read does not set a limit on the maximum size of file headers. A maliciously crafted archive could     cause Read to allocate unbounded amounts of memory, potentially causing resource exhaustion or panics.
    After fix, Reader.Read limits the maximum size of header blocks to 1 MiB. (CVE-2022-2879)

  - Requests forwarded by ReverseProxy include the raw query parameters from the inbound request, including     unparsable parameters rejected by net/http. This could permit query parameter smuggling when a Go proxy     forwards a parameter with an unparsable value. After fix, ReverseProxy sanitizes the query parameters in     the forwarded query when the outbound request's Form field is set after the ReverseProxy. Director     function returns, indicating that the proxy has parsed the query parameters. Proxies which do not parse     query parameters continue to forward the original query parameters unchanged. (CVE-2022-2880)

  - A too-short encoded message can cause a panic in Float.GobDecode and Rat GobDecode in math/big in Go     before 1.17.13 and 1.18.5, potentially allowing a denial of service. (CVE-2022-32189)

  - Programs which compile regular expressions from untrusted sources may be vulnerable to memory exhaustion     or denial of service. The parsed regexp representation is linear in the size of the input, but in some     cases the constant factor can be as high as 40,000, making relatively small regexps consume much larger     amounts of memory. After fix, each regexp being parsed is limited to a 256 MB memory footprint. Regular     expressions whose representation would use more space than that are rejected. Normal use of regular     expressions is unaffected. (CVE-2022-41715)

  - An attacker can cause excessive memory growth in a Go server accepting HTTP/2 requests. HTTP/2 server     connections contain a cache of HTTP header keys sent by the client. While the total number of entries in     this cache is capped, an attacker sending very large keys can cause the server to allocate approximately     64 MiB per open connection. (CVE-2022-41717)

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