high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 416384

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- OnionShare is an open source tool that lets you securely and anonymously share files, host websites, and
chat with friends using the Tor network. In affected versions the receive mode limits concurrent uploads
to 100 per second and blocks other uploads in the same second, which can be triggered by a simple script.
An adversary with access to the receive mode can block file upload for others. There is no way to block
this attack in public mode due to the anonymity properties of the tor network. (CVE-2022-21689)
