The version of containerd installed on the remote host is prior to 1.7.11-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2ECS-2024-035 advisory.

    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-2023-39325)

    A malicious HTTP sender can use chunk extensions to cause a receiver reading from a request or response     body to read many more bytes from the network than are in the body. A malicious HTTP client can further     exploit this to cause a server to automatically read a large amount of data (up to about 1GiB) when a     handler fails to read the entire body of a request. Chunk extensions are a little-used HTTP feature which     permit including additional metadata in a request or response body sent using the chunked encoding. The     net/http chunked encoding reader discards this metadata. A sender can exploit this by inserting a large     metadata segment with each byte transferred. The chunk reader now produces an error if the ratio of real     body to encoded bytes grows too small. (CVE-2023-39326)

    Text nodes not in the HTML namespace are incorrectly literally rendered, causing text which should be     escaped to not be. This could lead to an XSS attack. (CVE-2023-3978)

    OpenTelemetry-Go Contrib is a collection of third-party packages for OpenTelemetry-Go. Prior to version     0.46.0, the grpc Unary Server Interceptor out of the box adds labels `net.peer.sock.addr` and     `net.peer.sock.port` that have unbound cardinality. It leads to the server's potential memory exhaustion     when many malicious requests are sent. An attacker can easily flood the peer address and port for     requests. Version 0.46.0 contains a fix for this issue. As a workaround to stop being affected, a view     removing the attributes can be used. The other possibility is to disable grpc metrics instrumentation by     passing `otelgrpc.WithMeterProvider` option with `noop.NewMeterProvider`. (CVE-2023-47108)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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