The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:4690 advisory.

    Qt is a software toolkit for developing applications. The qt5-base packages contain base tools for string,     xml, and network handling in Qt.

    Security Fix(es):

    * qt: XML entity expansion vulnerability (CVE-2015-9541)

    * qt5-qtwebsockets: websocket implementation allows only limited size for frames and messages therefore     attacker can cause DOS (CVE-2018-21035)

    * qt: files placed by attacker can influence the working directory and lead to malicious code execution     (CVE-2020-0569)

    * qt: files placed by attacker can influence the working directory and lead to malicious code execution     (CVE-2020-0570)

    * qt5: incorrectly calls SSL_shutdown() in OpenSSL mid-handshake causing denial of service in TLS     applications (CVE-2020-13962)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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

The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2020:4690 advisory.

  - Qt through 5.14 allows an exponential XML entity expansion attack via a crafted SVG document that is     mishandled in QXmlStreamReader, a related issue to CVE-2003-1564. (CVE-2015-9541)

  - In Qt through 5.14.1, the WebSocket implementation accepts up to 2GB for frames and 2GB for messages.
    Smaller limits cannot be configured. This makes it easier for attackers to cause a denial of service     (memory consumption). (CVE-2018-21035)

  - Out of bounds write in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi products on Windows 10 may allow an authenticated     user to potentially enable denial of service via local access. (CVE-2020-0569)

  - Uncontrolled search path in the QT Library before 5.14.0, 5.12.7 and 5.9.10 may allow an authenticated     user to potentially enable elevation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2020-0570)

  - Qt 5.12.2 through 5.14.2, as used in unofficial builds of Mumble 1.3.0 and other products, mishandles     OpenSSL's error queue, which can cause a denial of service to QSslSocket users. Because errors leak in     unrelated TLS sessions, an unrelated session may be disconnected when any handshake fails. (Mumble 1.3.1     is not affected, regardless of the Qt version.) (CVE-2020-13962)

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

  - qt5-qtwebsockets: websocket implementation allows only limited size for frames and messages therefore     attacker can cause DOS (CVE-2018-21035)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability that has been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - qt5-qtwebsockets: websocket implementation allows only limited size for frames and messages therefore     attacker can cause DOS (CVE-2018-21035)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has qt5-qtwebsockets packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

  - In Qt through 5.14.1, the WebSocket implementation accepts up to 2GB for frames and 2GB for messages.
    Smaller limits cannot be configured. This makes it easier for attackers to cause a denial of service     (memory consumption). (CVE-2018-21035)
