Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2022-24723

medium Nessus Plugin ID 224582

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- URI.js is a Javascript URL mutation library. Before version 1.19.9, whitespace characters are not removed from the beginning of the protocol, so URLs are not parsed properly. This issue has been patched in version 1.19.9. Removing leading whitespace from values before passing them to URI.parse can be used as a workaround. (CVE-2022-24723)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
