medium Nessus Plugin ID 200429

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for buildah.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:3827 advisory.

The buildah package provides a tool for facilitating building OCI container images. Among other things, buildah enables you to: Create a working container, either from scratch or using an image as a starting point; Create an image, either from a working container or using the instructions in a Dockerfile; Build both Docker and OCI images.

Security Fix(es):

* golang: net/http: memory exhaustion in Request.ParseMultipartForm (CVE-2023-45290)

* jose-go: improper handling of highly compressed data (CVE-2024-28180)

* buildah: jose: resource exhaustion (CVE-2024-28176)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the RHEL buildah package based on the guidance in RHSA-2024:3827.
