The version of AHV installed on the remote host is prior to 20201105.2286. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AHV-20201105.2286 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in OpenLDAP. This flaw allows an attacker who can send a malicious packet to be processed     by OpenLDAP's slapd server, to trigger an assertion failure. The highest threat from this vulnerability is     to system availability. (CVE-2020-25709)

  - A flaw was found in OpenLDAP in versions before 2.4.56. This flaw allows an attacker who sends a malicious     packet processed by OpenLDAP to force a failed assertion in csnNormalize23(). The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2020-25710)

  - An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt before 3003.3. A user who has control of the source, and     source_hash URLs can gain full file system access as root on a salt minion. (CVE-2021-21996)

  - In Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.3, a left shift by 29 (or more) places in the storeAtts function in     xmlparse.c can lead to realloc misbehavior (e.g., allocating too few bytes, or only freeing memory).
    (CVE-2021-45960)

  - In doProlog in xmlparse.c in Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.3, an integer overflow exists for     m_groupSize. (CVE-2021-46143)

  - The BN_mod_sqrt() function, which computes a modular square root, contains a bug that can cause it to loop     forever for non-prime moduli. Internally this function is used when parsing certificates that contain     elliptic curve public keys in compressed form or explicit elliptic curve parameters with a base point     encoded in compressed form. It is possible to trigger the infinite loop by crafting a certificate that has     invalid explicit curve parameters. Since certificate parsing happens prior to verification of the     certificate signature, any process that parses an externally supplied certificate may thus be subject to a     denial of service attack. The infinite loop can also be reached when parsing crafted private keys as they     can contain explicit elliptic curve parameters. Thus vulnerable situations include: - TLS clients     consuming server certificates - TLS servers consuming client certificates - Hosting providers taking     certificates or private keys from customers - Certificate authorities parsing certification requests from     subscribers - Anything else which parses ASN.1 elliptic curve parameters Also any other applications that     use the BN_mod_sqrt() where the attacker can control the parameter values are vulnerable to this DoS     issue. In the OpenSSL 1.0.2 version the public key is not parsed during initial parsing of the certificate     which makes it slightly harder to trigger the infinite loop. However any operation which requires the     public key from the certificate will trigger the infinite loop. In particular the attacker can use a self-     signed certificate to trigger the loop during verification of the certificate signature. This issue     affects OpenSSL versions 1.0.2, 1.1.1 and 3.0. It was addressed in the releases of 1.1.1n and 3.0.2 on the     15th March 2022. Fixed in OpenSSL 3.0.2 (Affected 3.0.0,3.0.1). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1n (Affected     1.1.1-1.1.1m). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2zd (Affected 1.0.2-1.0.2zc). (CVE-2022-0778)

An update of the expat package has been released.

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

  - expat: Large number of prefixed XML attributes on a single tag can crash libexpat (CVE-2021-45960)

  - expat: Integer overflow in function XML_GetBuffer (CVE-2022-23852)

  - Expat, when used in a parser that has not called XML_SetHashSalt or passed it a seed of 0, makes it easier     for context-dependent attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via vectors involving use of     the srand function. (CVE-2012-6702)

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

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 ESM / 22.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5455-1 advisory.

  - Memory leak in the poolGrow function in expat/lib/xmlparse.c in expat before 2.1.0 allows context-     dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of crafted XML     files that cause improperly-handled reallocation failures when expanding entities. (CVE-2012-1148)

  - Multiple integer overflows in the XML_GetBuffer function in Expat through 2.1.0, as used in Google Chrome     before 44.0.2403.89 and other products, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based     buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted XML data, a related issue to     CVE-2015-2716. (CVE-2015-1283)

  - Expat allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute     arbitrary code via a malformed input document, which triggers a buffer overflow. (CVE-2016-0718)

  - The overflow protection in Expat is removed by compilers with certain optimization settings, which allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted XML     data. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-1283 and CVE-2015-2716.
    (CVE-2016-4472)

  - In libexpat in Expat before 2.2.7, XML input including XML names that contain a large number of colons     could make the XML parser consume a high amount of RAM and CPU resources while processing (enough to be     usable for denial-of-service attacks). (CVE-2018-20843)

  - In libexpat before 2.2.8, crafted XML input could fool the parser into changing from DTD parsing to     document parsing too early; a consecutive call to XML_GetCurrentLineNumber (or XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber)     then resulted in a heap-based buffer over-read. (CVE-2019-15903)

  - In doProlog in xmlparse.c in Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.3, an integer overflow exists for     m_groupSize. (CVE-2021-46143)
