medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 419983

Description

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

 - Go Ethereum is the official Golang implementation of the Ethereum protocol. Prior to version 1.10.17, a
 vulnerable node, if configured to use high verbosity logging, can be made to crash when handling specially
 crafted p2p messages sent from an attacker node. Version 1.10.17 contains a patch that addresses the
 problem. As a workaround, setting loglevel to default level (`INFO`) makes the node not vulnerable to this
 attack. (CVE-2022-29177)
