On Windows, restricted files can be accessed via os.DirFS and http.Dir. The os.DirFS function and http.Dir type provide access to a tree of files rooted at a given directory. These functions permit access to Windows device files under that root. For example, os.DirFS("C:/tmp").Open("COM1") opens the COM1 device. Both os.DirFS and http.Dir only provide read-only filesystem access. In addition, on Windows, an os.DirFS for the directory (the root of the current drive) can permit a maliciously crafted path to escape from the drive and access any path on the system. With fix applied, the behavior of os.DirFS("") has changed. Previously, an empty root was treated equivalently to "/", so os.DirFS("").Open("tmp") would open the path "/tmp". This now returns an error.

An update of the kubernetes package has been released.

    Previously, an empty root was treated equivalently to "/", so os.DirFS("").Open("tmp") would open the path
    "/tmp". This now returns an error. (CVE-2022-41720)

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

  - On Windows, restricted files can be accessed via os.DirFS and http.Dir. The os.DirFS function and http.Dir     type provide access to a tree of files rooted at a given directory. These functions permit access to     Windows device files under that root. For example, os.DirFS(C:/tmp).Open(COM1) opens the COM1 device.

In addition, on Windows, an os.DirFS     for the directory (the root of the current drive) can permit a maliciously crafted path to escape from the     drive and access any path on the system. With fix applied, the behavior of os.DirFS() has changed.
    Previously, an empty root was treated equivalently to /, so os.DirFS().Open(tmp) would open the path     /tmp. This now returns an error. (CVE-2022-41720)

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

The version of Splunk installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SVD-2023-0808 advisory.

  - The go command may execute arbitrary code at build time when using cgo. This may occur when running go     get on a malicious module, or when running any other command which builds untrusted code. This is can by     triggered by linker flags, specified via a #cgo LDFLAGS directive. Flags containing embedded spaces are     mishandled, allowing disallowed flags to be smuggled through the LDFLAGS sanitization by including them in     the argument of another flag. This only affects usage of the gccgo compiler. (CVE-2023-29405)

  - When curl < 7.84.0 saves cookies, alt-svc and hsts data to local files, it makes the operation atomic by     finalizing the operation with a rename from a temporary name to the final target file name.In that rename     operation, it might accidentally *widen* the permissions for the target file, leaving the updated file     accessible to more users than intended. (CVE-2022-32207)

  - decode-uri-component 0.2.0 is vulnerable to Improper Input Validation resulting in DoS. (CVE-2022-38900)

  - The got package before 12.1.0 (also fixed in 11.8.5) for Node.js allows a redirect to a UNIX socket.
    (CVE-2022-33987)

  - Prototype pollution vulnerability in function parseQuery in parseQuery.js in webpack loader-utils via the     name variable in parseQuery.js. This affects all versions prior to 1.4.1 and 2.0.3. (CVE-2022-37601)

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

The version of Splunk installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SVD-2023-0613 advisory.

  - A prototype pollution vulnerability exists in the function copy in dom.js in the xmldom (published as     @xmldom/xmldom) package before 0.8.3 for Node.js via the p variable. NOTE: the vendor states we are in     the process of marking this report as invalid; however, some third parties takes the position that A     prototype injection/Prototype pollution is not just when global objects are polluted with recursive merge     or deep cloning but also when a target object is polluted. (CVE-2022-37616)

  - When curl < 7.84.0 saves cookies, alt-svc and hsts data to local files, it makes the operation atomic by     finalizing the operation with a rename from a temporary name to the final target file name.In that rename     operation, it might accidentally *widen* the permissions for the target file, leaving the updated file     accessible to more users than intended. (CVE-2022-32207)

  - An issue was discovered in libxml2 before 2.10.3. When parsing a multi-gigabyte XML document with the     XML_PARSE_HUGE parser option enabled, several integer counters can overflow. This results in an attempt to     access an array at a negative 2GB offset, typically leading to a segmentation fault. (CVE-2022-40303)

  - An issue was discovered in libxml2 before 2.10.3. Certain invalid XML entity definitions can corrupt a     hash table key, potentially leading to subsequent logic errors. In one case, a double-free can be     provoked. (CVE-2022-40304)

  - There is a type confusion vulnerability relating to X.400 address processing inside an X.509 GeneralName.
    X.400 addresses were parsed as an ASN1_STRING but the public structure definition for GENERAL_NAME     incorrectly specified the type of the x400Address field as ASN1_TYPE. This field is subsequently     interpreted by the OpenSSL function GENERAL_NAME_cmp as an ASN1_TYPE rather than an ASN1_STRING. When CRL     checking is enabled (i.e. the application sets the X509_V_FLAG_CRL_CHECK flag), this vulnerability may     allow an attacker to pass arbitrary pointers to a memcmp call, enabling them to read memory contents or     enact a denial of service. In most cases, the attack requires the attacker to provide both the certificate     chain and CRL, neither of which need to have a valid signature. If the attacker only controls one of these     inputs, the other input must already contain an X.400 address as a CRL distribution point, which is     uncommon. As such, this vulnerability is most likely to only affect applications which have implemented     their own functionality for retrieving CRLs over a network. (CVE-2023-0286)

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

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - Due to unsanitized NUL values, attackers may be able to maliciously set environment variables on Windows.
    In syscall.StartProcess and os/exec.Cmd, invalid environment variable values containing NUL values are not
    properly checked for. A malicious environment variable value can exploit this behavior to set a value for
    a different environment variable. For example, the environment variable string "A=B\x00C=D" sets the
    variables "A=B" and "C=D". (CVE-2022-41716)

  - On Windows, restricted files can be accessed via os.DirFS and http.Dir. The os.DirFS function and http.Dir
    type provide access to a tree of files rooted at a given directory. These functions permit access to
    Windows device files under that root. For example, os.DirFS("C:/tmp").Open("COM1") opens the COM1 device.
    Both os.DirFS and http.Dir only provide read-only filesystem access. In addition, on Windows, an os.DirFS
    for the directory (the root of the current drive) can permit a maliciously crafted path to escape from the
    drive and access any path on the system. With fix applied, the behavior of os.DirFS("") has changed.
    Previously, an empty root was treated equivalently to "/", so os.DirFS("").Open("tmp") would open the path
    "/tmp". This now returns an error. (CVE-2022-41720)

  - A path traversal vulnerability exists in filepath.Clean on Windows. On Windows, the filepath.Clean
    function could transform an invalid path such as "a/../c:/b" into the valid path "c:\b". This
    transformation of a relative (if invalid) path into an absolute path could enable a directory traversal
    attack. After fix, the filepath.Clean function transforms this path into the relative (but still invalid)
    path ".\c:\b". (CVE-2022-41722)

  - On Darwin, building a Go module which contains CGO can trigger arbitrary code execution when using the
    Apple version of ld, due to usage of the -lto_library flag in a "#cgo LDFLAGS" directive. (CVE-2024-24787)

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 6f5192f5-75a7-11ed-83c0-411d43ce7fe4 advisory.

  - The Go project reports: os, net/http: avoid escapes from os.DirFS and http.Dir on Windows The os.DirFS     function and http.Dir type provide access to a            tree of files rooted at a given directory. These     functions            permitted access to Windows device files under that root. For            example,     os.DirFS(C:/tmp).Open(COM1) would open the COM1 device.

This now     returns an error. net/http: limit canonical header cache by bytes, not entries An attacker can cause     excessive memory growth in a Go server             accepting HTTP/2 requests. HTTP/2 server connections     contain a             cache of HTTP header keys sent by the client. While the total number             of     entries in this cache is capped, an attacker sending very large             keys can cause the server to     allocate approximately 64 MiB per open             connection.
