Synopsis

The remote Azure Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of containerized-data-importer / golang / ig / libcontainers-common / moby-engine installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2022-2879 advisory.

 - Reader.Read does not set a limit on the maximum size of file headers. A maliciously crafted archive could cause Read to allocate unbounded amounts of memory, potentially causing resource exhaustion or panics.
 After fix, Reader.Read limits the maximum size of header blocks to 1 MiB. (CVE-2022-2879)
