Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3645 advisory.

- Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in Apache Traffic Server.This issue affects Apache Traffic Server: from 8.0.0 through 8.1.8, from 9.0.0 through 9.2.2. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 8.1.9 or 9.2.3, which fixes the issue. (CVE-2023-41752)

- The HTTP/2 protocol allows a denial of service (server resource consumption) because request cancellation can reset many streams quickly, as exploited in the wild in August through October 2023. (CVE-2023-44487)

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

Solution

Upgrade the trafficserver packages.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 8.1.7-0+deb10u3.
