The version of docker installed on the remote host is prior to 20.10.25-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2ECS-2023-019 advisory.

  - A maliciously crafted HTTP/2 stream could cause excessive CPU consumption in the HPACK decoder, sufficient     to cause a denial of service from a small number of small requests. (CVE-2022-41723)

  - Templates do not properly consider backticks (`) as Javascript string delimiters, and do not escape them     as expected. Backticks are used, since ES6, for JS template literals. If a template contains a Go template     action within a Javascript template literal, the contents of the action can be used to terminate the     literal, injecting arbitrary Javascript code into the Go template. As ES6 template literals are rather     complex, and themselves can do string interpolation, the decision was made to simply disallow Go template     actions from being used inside of them (e.g. var a = {{.}}), since there is no obviously safe way to     allow this behavior. This takes the same approach as github.com/google/safehtml. With fix, Template.Parse     returns an Error when it encounters templates like this, with an ErrorCode of value 12. This ErrorCode is     currently unexported, but will be exported in the release of Go 1.21. Users who rely on the previous     behavior can re-enable it using the GODEBUG flag jstmpllitinterp=1, with the caveat that backticks will     now be escaped. This should be used with caution. (CVE-2023-24538)

  - Not all valid JavaScript whitespace characters are considered to be whitespace. Templates containing     whitespace characters outside of the character set \t\n\f\r\u0020\u2028\u2029 in JavaScript contexts     that also contain actions may not be properly sanitized during execution. (CVE-2023-24540)

  - A malicious HTTP/2 client which rapidly creates requests and immediately resets them can cause excessive     server resource consumption. While the total number of requests is bounded by the     http2.Server.MaxConcurrentStreams setting, resetting an in-progress request allows the attacker to create     a new request while the existing one is still executing. With the fix applied, HTTP/2 servers now bound     the number of simultaneously executing handler goroutines to the stream concurrency limit     (MaxConcurrentStreams). New requests arriving when at the limit (which can only happen after the client     has reset an existing, in-flight request) will be queued until a handler exits. If the request queue grows     too large, the server will terminate the connection. This issue is also fixed in golang.org/x/net/http2     for users manually configuring HTTP/2. The default stream concurrency limit is 250 streams (requests) per     HTTP/2 connection. This value may be adjusted using the golang.org/x/net/http2 package; see the     Server.MaxConcurrentStreams setting and the ConfigureServer function. (CVE-2023-39325)

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