EulerOS 2.0 SP12 : nghttp2 (EulerOS-SA-2024-2245)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 205894

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the nghttp2 package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 nghttp2 is an implementation of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol version 2 in C. The nghttp2 library prior to version 1.61.0 keeps reading the unbounded number of HTTP/2 CONTINUATION frames even after a stream is reset to keep HPACK context in sync. This causes excessive CPU usage to decode HPACK stream. nghttp2 v1.61.0 mitigates this vulnerability by limiting the number of CONTINUATION frames it accepts per stream.
 There is no workaround for this vulnerability.(CVE-2024-28182)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS nghttp2 security advisory.

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 nghttp2 packages.
