critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 405714

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of
 Netatalk. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within
 the dsi_writeinit function. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-
 supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this
 vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-17646. (CVE-2022-43634)

 - Netatalk through 3.1.13 has an afp_getappl heap-based buffer overflow resulting in code execution via a
 crafted .appl file. This provides remote root access on some platforms such as FreeBSD (used for TrueNAS).
 (CVE-2022-45188)
