The `ecdsa` PyPI package is a pure Python implementation of ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) with support for ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm), EdDSA (Edwards-curve Digital Signature Algorithm) and ECDH (Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman). Versions 0.18.0 and prior are vulnerable to the Minerva attack. As of time of publication, no known patched version exists.

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

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:10806 advisory.

    Red Hat Satellite is a system management solution that allows organizations     to configure and maintain their systems without the necessity to provide     public Internet access to their servers or other client systems. It     performs provisioning and configuration management of predefined standard     operating environments.

    Security Fix(es):

    * rubygem-activestorage: Possible Sensitive Session Information Leak in Active Storage (CVE-2024-26144)
    * rubygem-rack: Possible Denial of Service Vulnerability in Rack Header Parsing (CVE-2024-26146)
    * rubygem-rack: Possible DoS Vulnerability with Range Header in Rack (CVE-2024-26141)
    * rubygem-rack: Denial of Service Vulnerability in Rack Content-Type Parsing (CVE-2024-25126)
    * python-ecdsa: vulnerable to the Minerva attack (CVE-2024-23342)

    Users of Red Hat Satellite are advised to upgrade to these updated     packages, which fix these bugs.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:1878 advisory.

    Red Hat Update Infrastructure (RHUI) offers a highly scalable, highly redundant     framework that enables you to manage repositories and content. It also enables     cloud providers to deliver content and updates to Red Hat Enterprise Linux     (RHEL) instances.

    * aiohttp: CRLF injection if user controls the HTTP method using aiohttp client (CVE-2023-49082)

    This RHUI update fixes the following bugs:

    * The rhui-installer failed on RHEL 8.10 Beta due to the use of distutils. This has been addressed by     updating to a newer version of ansible-collection-community-crypto which does not use the distutils.

    This RHUI update introduces the following enhancements:

    * A native Ansible module is now used to update the packages on the RHUA server when the RHUI installer is     run for the first time or rerun at any time. This update can be prevented by using the --ignore-newer-     rhel-packages flag on the rhui-installer command line.

    * PulpCore has been updated to version 3.39.
