In Spring Framework versions 5.3.0 - 5.3.38 and older unsupported versions, it is possible for a user to provide a specially crafted Spring Expression Language (SpEL) expression that may cause a denial of service (DoS) condition. Specifically, an application is vulnerable when the following is true: * The application evaluates user-supplied SpEL expressions.

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 7.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-7.3 advisory.

  - BZ2_decompress in decompress.c in bzip2 through 1.0.6 has an out-of-bounds write when there are many     selectors. (CVE-2019-12900)

  - Path Equivalence: 'file.Name' (Internal Dot) leading to Remote Code Execution and/or Information     disclosure and/or malicious content added to uploaded files via write enabled Default Servlet in Apache     Tomcat. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.2, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.34,     from 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.98. The following versions were EOL at the time the CVE was created but are     known to be affected: 8.5.0 though 8.5.100. Other, older, EOL versions may also be affected. If all of the     following were true, a malicious user was able to view security sensitive files and/or inject content into     those files: - writes enabled for the default servlet (disabled by default) - support for partial PUT     (enabled by default) - a target URL for security sensitive uploads that was a sub-directory of a target     URL for public uploads - attacker knowledge of the names of security sensitive files being uploaded - the     security sensitive files also being uploaded via partial PUT If all of the following were true, a     malicious user was able to perform remote code execution: - writes enabled for the default servlet     (disabled by default) - support for partial PUT (enabled by default) - application was using Tomcat's file     based session persistence with the default storage location - application included a library that may be     leveraged in a deserialization attack Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.3, 10.1.35 or     9.0.99, which fixes the issue. (CVE-2025-24813)

  - It is possible to construct a zone such that some queries to it will generate responses containing     numerous records in the Additional section. An attacker sending many such queries can cause either the     authoritative server itself or an independent resolver to use disproportionate resources processing the     queries. Zones will usually need to have been deliberately crafted to attack this exposure. This issue     affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.11.37, 9.16.0 through 9.16.50, 9.18.0 through 9.18.32, 9.20.0     through 9.20.4, 9.21.0 through 9.21.3, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.11.37-S1, 9.16.8-S1 through 9.16.50-S1, and     9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.32-S1. (CVE-2024-11187)

  - A flaw was found in rsync which could be triggered when rsync compares file checksums. This flaw allows an     attacker to manipulate the checksum length (s2length) to cause a comparison between a checksum and     uninitialized memory and leak one byte of uninitialized stack data at a time. (CVE-2024-12085)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of     Oracle Java SE (component: JSSE). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE:8u441,     8u441-perf, 11.0.26, 17.0.14, 21.0.6, 24; Oracle GraalVM for JDK:17.0.14, 21.0.6, 24; Oracle GraalVM     Enterprise Edition:20.3.17 and 21.3.13. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker     with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle     GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation,     deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle     GraalVM Enterprise Edition accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete     access to all Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition accessible data.
    Note: This vulnerability can be exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g., through a web     service which supplies data to the APIs. This vulnerability also applies to Java deployments, typically in     clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run     untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security.
    (CVE-2025-21587)

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

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

  - In Spring Framework versions 5.3.0 - 5.3.38 and older unsupported versions, it is possible for a user to     provide a specially crafted Spring Expression Language (SpEL) expression that may cause a denial of     service (DoS) condition. Specifically, an application is vulnerable when the following is true: * The     application evaluates user-supplied SpEL expressions. (CVE-2024-38808)

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