    (CVE-2022-21349)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Java SE     (component: ImageIO). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 7u321, 8u311, 11.0.13,     17.0.1; Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 20.3.4 and 21.3.0.

    (CVE-2022-21360, CVE-2022-21365)

  - AIDE before 0.17.4 allows local users to obtain root privileges via crafted file metadata (such as XFS     extended attributes or tmpfs ACLs), because of a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2021-45417)

  - Apache Log4j2 versions 2.0-alpha1 through 2.16.0 (excluding 2.12.3 and 2.3.1) did not protect from     uncontrolled recursion from self-referential lookups. This allows an attacker with control over Thread     Context Map data to cause a denial of service when a crafted string is interpreted. This issue was fixed     in Log4j 2.17.0, 2.12.3, and 2.3.1. (CVE-2021-45105)

  - When using Apache Tomcat versions 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.0-M4, 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.34, 8.5.0 to 8.5.54 and 7.0.0 to     7.0.103 if a) an attacker is able to control the contents and name of a file on the server; and b) the     server is configured to use the PersistenceManager with a FileStore; and c) the PersistenceManager is     configured with sessionAttributeValueClassNameFilter=null (the default unless a SecurityManager is used)     or a sufficiently lax filter to allow the attacker provided object to be deserialized; and d) the attacker     knows the relative file path from the storage location used by FileStore to the file the attacker has     control over; then, using a specifically crafted request, the attacker will be able to trigger remote code     execution via deserialization of the file under their control. Note that all of conditions a) to d) must     be true for the attack to succeed. (CVE-2020-9484)

  - The fix for bug CVE-2020-9484 introduced a time of check, time of use vulnerability into Apache Tomcat     10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.0-M8, 10.0.0-M5 to 10.0.14, 9.0.35 to 9.0.56 and 8.5.55 to 8.5.73 that allowed a local     attacker to perform actions with the privileges of the user that the Tomcat process is using. This issue     is only exploitable when Tomcat is configured to persist sessions using the FileStore. (CVE-2022-23181)

  - A local privilege escalation vulnerability was found on polkit's pkexec utility. The pkexec application is     a setuid tool designed to allow unprivileged users to run commands as privileged users according     predefined policies. The current version of pkexec doesn't handle the calling parameters count correctly     and ends trying to execute environment variables as commands. An attacker can leverage this by crafting     environment variables in such a way it'll induce pkexec to execute arbitrary code. When successfully     executed the attack can cause a local privilege escalation given unprivileged users administrative rights     on the target machine. (CVE-2021-4034)

  - A flaw memory leak in the Linux kernel performance monitoring subsystem was found in the way if using     PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_FILTER. A local user could use this flaw to starve the resources causing denial of     service. (CVE-2020-25704)

  - An issue was discovered in the FUSE filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel before 5.10.6, aka     CID-5d069dbe8aaf. fuse_do_getattr() calls make_bad_inode() in inappropriate situations, causing a system     crash. NOTE: the original fix for this vulnerability was incomplete, and its incompleteness is tracked as     CVE-2021-28950. (CVE-2020-36322)

  - The firewire subsystem in the Linux kernel through 5.14.13 has a buffer overflow related to     drivers/media/firewire/firedtv-avc.c and drivers/media/firewire/firedtv-ci.c, because avc_ca_pmt     mishandles bounds checking. (CVE-2021-42739)

  - In Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.0 to 2.4.46 a specially crafted SessionHeader sent by an origin server     could cause a heap overflow (CVE-2021-26691)

  - Malformed requests may cause the server to dereference a NULL pointer. This issue affects Apache HTTP     Server 2.4.48 and earlier. (CVE-2021-34798)

  - ap_escape_quotes() may write beyond the end of a buffer when given malicious input. No included modules     pass untrusted data to these functions, but third-party / external modules may. This issue affects Apache     HTTP Server 2.4.48 and earlier. (CVE-2021-39275)

  - A carefully crafted request body can cause a buffer overflow in the mod_lua multipart parser     (r:parsebody() called from Lua scripts). The Apache httpd team is not aware of an exploit for the     vulnerabilty though it might be possible to craft one. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server 2.4.51 and     earlier. (CVE-2021-44790)

  - Included in Log4j 1.2 is a SocketServer class that is vulnerable to deserialization of untrusted data     which can be exploited to remotely execute arbitrary code when combined with a deserialization gadget when     listening to untrusted network traffic for log data. This affects Log4j versions up to 1.2 up to 1.2.17.
    (CVE-2019-17571)

  - Improper validation of certificate with host mismatch in Apache Log4j SMTP appender. This could allow an     SMTPS connection to be intercepted by a man-in-the-middle attack which could leak any log messages sent     through that appender. Fixed in Apache Log4j 2.12.3 and 2.13.1 (CVE-2020-9488)

  - JMSSink in all versions of Log4j 1.x is vulnerable to deserialization of untrusted data when the attacker     has write access to the Log4j configuration or if the configuration references an LDAP service the     attacker has access to. The attacker can provide a TopicConnectionFactoryBindingName configuration causing     JMSSink to perform JNDI requests that result in remote code execution in a similar fashion to     CVE-2021-4104. Note this issue only affects Log4j 1.x when specifically configured to use JMSSink, which     is not the default. Apache Log4j 1.2 reached end of life in August 2015. Users should upgrade to Log4j 2     as it addresses numerous other issues from the previous versions. (CVE-2022-23302)

  - By design, the JDBCAppender in Log4j 1.2.x accepts an SQL statement as a configuration parameter where the     values to be inserted are converters from PatternLayout. The message converter, %m, is likely to always be     included. This allows attackers to manipulate the SQL by entering crafted strings into input fields or     headers of an application that are logged allowing unintended SQL queries to be executed. Note this issue     only affects Log4j 1.x when specifically configured to use the JDBCAppender, which is not the default.
    Beginning in version 2.0-beta8, the JDBCAppender was re-introduced with proper support for parameterized     SQL queries and further customization over the columns written to in logs. Apache Log4j 1.2 reached end of     life in August 2015. Users should upgrade to Log4j 2 as it addresses numerous other issues from the     previous versions. (CVE-2022-23305)

  - CVE-2020-9493 identified a deserialization issue that was present in Apache Chainsaw. Prior to Chainsaw     V2.0 Chainsaw was a component of Apache Log4j 1.2.x where the same issue exists. (CVE-2022-23307)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
