Synopsis

The Nutanix AHV host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The version of AHV installed on the remote host is prior to 20220304.392. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the NXSA-AHV-20220304.392 advisory.

- zlib through 1.2.12 has a heap-based buffer over-read or buffer overflow in inflate in inflate.c via a large gzip header extra field. NOTE: only applications that call inflateGetHeader are affected. Some common applications bundle the affected zlib source code but may be unable to call inflateGetHeader (e.g., see the nodejs/node reference). (CVE-2022-37434)

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

Solution
