In Eclipse Jetty version 9.3.x and 9.4.x, the server is vulnerable to Denial of Service conditions if a remote client sends either large SETTINGs frames container containing many settings, or many small SETTINGs frames. The vulnerability is due to the additional CPU and memory allocations required to handle changed settings.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - In Eclipse Jetty version 9.3.x and 9.4.x, the server is vulnerable to Denial of Service conditions if a
    remote client sends either large SETTINGs frames container containing many settings, or many small
    SETTINGs frames. The vulnerability is due to the additional CPU and memory allocations required to handle
    changed settings. (CVE-2018-12545)

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

  - In Eclipse Jetty version 9.3.x and 9.4.x, the server is vulnerable to Denial of Service conditions if a     remote client sends either large SETTINGs frames container containing many settings, or many small     SETTINGs frames. The vulnerability is due to the additional CPU and memory allocations required to handle     changed settings. (CVE-2018-12545)

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

The version of IBM Cognos Analytics installed on the remote host is prior to 11.2.4 FP4 or 12.0.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 7173592 advisory.

  - An arbitrary file upload vulnerability in formidable v3.1.4 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via     a crafted filename. NOTE: some third parties dispute this issue because the product has common use cases     in which uploading arbitrary files is the desired behavior. Also, there are configuration options in all     versions that can change the default behavior of how files are handled. Strapi does not consider this to     be a valid vulnerability. (CVE-2022-29622)

  - Node.js IP package could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a     server-side request forgery flaw in the ip.isPublic() function. By sending a specially crafted request     using a hexadecimal representation of a private IP address, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability     to execute arbitrary code on the system and obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2023-42282)   
  - Multiple vendors are vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw in handling multiplexed streams     in the HTTP/2 protocol. By sending numerous HTTP/2 requests and RST_STREAM frames over multiple streams, a     remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service due to server resource     consumption. (CVE-2023-44487)

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