high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 412754

Description

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

- An issue was discovered in the /api/connector endpoint handler in Yubico yubihsm-connector before 3.0.1
(in YubiHSM SDK before 2021.04). The handler did not validate the length of the request, which can lead to
a state where yubihsm-connector becomes stuck in a loop waiting for the YubiHSM to send it data,
preventing any further operations until the yubihsm-connector is restarted. An attacker can send 0, 1, or
2 bytes to trigger this. (CVE-2021-28484)
