Rocky Linux 8 : nginx:1.14 (RLSA-2019:2799)
high Nessus Plugin ID 184596
Synopsis
The remote Rocky Linux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2019:2799 advisory.- Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to window size manipulation and stream prioritization manipulation, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker requests a large amount of data from a specified resource over multiple streams. They manipulate window size and stream priority to force the server to queue the data in 1-byte chunks. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this can consume excess CPU, memory, or both. (CVE-2019-9511)
- Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to resource loops, potentially leading to a denial of service.
The attacker creates multiple request streams and continually shuffles the priority of the streams in a way that causes substantial churn to the priority tree. This can consume excess CPU. (CVE-2019-9513)
- Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to a header leak, potentially leading to a denial of service.
The attacker sends a stream of headers with a 0-length header name and 0-length header value, optionally Huffman encoded into 1-byte or greater headers. Some implementations allocate memory for these headers and keep the allocation alive until the session dies. This can consume excess memory. (CVE-2019-9516)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
