high Nessus Plugin ID 233144

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of cert-manager / cf-cli / docker-buildx / docker-compose / kubernetes / kubevirt / moby-compose 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-2025-22869 advisory.

 - SSH servers which implement file transfer protocols are vulnerable to a denial of service attack from clients which complete the key exchange slowly, or not at all, causing pending content to be read into memory, but never transmitted. (CVE-2025-22869)

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 packages.
