Zabbix server is vulnerable to a DoS vulnerability due to uncontrolled resource exhaustion. An attacker can send specially crafted requests to the server, which will cause the server to allocate an excessive amount of memory and perform CPU-intensive decompression operations, ultimately leading to a service crash.

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

(CVE-2024-45700)

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

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-4131 advisory.

    Several security vulnerabilities have been discovered in zabbix, a     network monitoring solution, potentially among other effects allowing     denial of service, information disclosure or remote code inclusion.

    CVE-2024-36469

        Execution time for an unsuccessful login differs when using a         non-existing username compared to using an existing one.

    CVE-2024-42325

        Zabbix API user.get returns all users that share common group with the         calling user. This includes media and other information, such as login         attempts, etc.

    CVE-2024-45699

        The endpoint /zabbix.php?action=export.valuemaps suffers from a         Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability via the backurl parameter. This is         caused by the reflection of user-supplied data without appropriate HTML         escaping or output encoding. As a result, a JavaScript payload may be         injected into the above endpoint causing it to be executed within the         context of the victim's browser.

    CVE-2024-45700

        Zabbix server is vulnerable to a DoS vulnerability due to uncontrolled         resource exhaustion. An attacker can send specially crafted requests to         the server, which will cause the server to allocate an excessive amount         of memory and perform CPU-intensive decompression operations, ultimately         leading to a service crash.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     1:5.0.46+dfsg-1+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your zabbix packages.
