high Nessus Plugin ID 184827
Synopsis
The remote Rocky Linux host is missing a security update.Description
The remote Rocky Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RLSA-2022:8643 advisory.- An HTTP Request Forgery issue was discovered in Varnish Cache 5.x and 6.x before 6.0.11, 7.x before 7.1.2, and 7.2.x before 7.2.1. An attacker may introduce characters through HTTP/2 pseudo-headers that are invalid in the context of an HTTP/1 request line, causing the Varnish server to produce invalid HTTP/1 requests to the backend. This could, in turn, be used to exploit vulnerabilities in a server behind the Varnish server. Note: the 6.0.x LTS series (before 6.0.11) is affected. (CVE-2022-45060)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Update the affected varnish, varnish-devel and / or varnish-docs packages.See Also
