  - In spring security versions prior to 5.4.11+, 5.5.7+ , 5.6.4+ and older unsupported versions,     RegexRequestMatcher can easily be misconfigured to be bypassed on some servlet containers. Applications     using RegexRequestMatcher with `.` in the regular expression are possibly vulnerable to an authorization     bypass. (CVE-2022-22978)

  - Error handling in the SSH protocol in (1) SSH Tectia Client and Server and Connector 4.0 through 4.4.11,     5.0 through 5.2.4, and 5.3 through 5.3.8; Client and Server and ConnectSecure 6.0 through 6.0.4; Server     for Linux on IBM System z 6.0.4; Server for IBM z/OS 5.5.1 and earlier, 6.0.0, and 6.0.1; and Client 4.0-J     through 4.3.3-J and 4.0-K through 4.3.10-K; and (2) OpenSSH 4.7p1 and possibly other versions, when using     a block cipher algorithm in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode, makes it easier for remote attackers to     recover certain plaintext data from an arbitrary block of ciphertext in an SSH session via unknown     vectors. (CVE-2008-5161)

  - n Spring Framework versions 5.3.0 - 5.3.16 and older unsupported versions, it is possible for a user to     provide a specially crafted SpEL expression that may cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2022-22950)

  - VMware Tools contains a SAML token signature bypass vulnerability. A malicious actor that has been granted     Guest Operation Privileges https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/8.0/vsphere-     security/GUID-6A952214-0E5E-4CCF-9D2A-90948FF643EC.html in a target virtual machine may be able to elevate     their privileges if that target virtual machine has been assigned a more privileged Guest Alias     https://vdc-download.vmware.com/vmwb-repository/dcr-public/d1902b0e-d479-46bf-8ac9-cee0e31e8ec0/07ce8dbd-     db48-4261-9b8f-c6d3ad8ba472/vim.vm.guest.AliasManager.html . (CVE-2023-34058)

  - open-vm-tools contains a file descriptor hijack vulnerability in the vmware-user-suid-wrapper. A malicious     actor with non-root privileges may be able to hijack the /dev/uinput file descriptor allowing them to     simulate user inputs. (CVE-2023-34059)

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

The version of Dell EMC NetWorker installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 19.8. It, therefore, contains a version of Spring Framework that is affected by a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability.

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2022:5555 advisory.

    The ovirt-engine package provides the Red Hat Virtualization Manager, a centralized management platform     that allows system administrators to view and manage virtual machines. The Manager provides a     comprehensive range of features including search capabilities, resource management, live migrations, and     virtual infrastructure provisioning.

    Security Fix(es):

    * nodejs-trim-newlines: ReDoS in .end() method (CVE-2021-33623)

    * apache-commons-compress: infinite loop when reading a specially crafted 7Z archive (CVE-2021-35515)

    * apache-commons-compress: excessive memory allocation when reading a specially crafted 7Z archive     (CVE-2021-35516)

    * apache-commons-compress: excessive memory allocation when reading a specially crafted TAR archive     (CVE-2021-35517)

    * apache-commons-compress: excessive memory allocation when reading a specially crafted ZIP archive     (CVE-2021-36090)

    * nodejs-ansi-regex: Regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) matching ANSI escape codes     (CVE-2021-3807)

    * spring-expression: Denial of service via specially crafted SpEL expression (CVE-2022-22950)

    * semantic-release: Masked secrets can be disclosed if they contain characters that are excluded from uri     encoding (CVE-2022-31051)

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 host contains a Spring Framework version that is prior to 5.2.20 or 5.3.x prior to 5.3.17. It is, therefore, affected by denial of service vulnerability. A remote, authenticated attacker could provide a specially crafted SpEL as a routing expression that may result in denial of service condition.

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