The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 6.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-6.6 advisory.

  - Spring Framework, versions 5.0 prior to 5.0.5 and versions 4.3 prior to 4.3.15 and older unsupported     versions, allow applications to expose STOMP over WebSocket endpoints with a simple, in-memory STOMP     broker through the spring-messaging module. A malicious user (or attacker) can craft a message to the     broker that can lead to a remote code execution attack. (CVE-2018-1270)

  - zlib before 1.2.12 allows memory corruption when deflating (i.e., when compressing) if the input has many     distant matches. (CVE-2018-25032)

  - http.client in Python 3.x before 3.5.10, 3.6.x before 3.6.12, 3.7.x before 3.7.9, and 3.8.x before 3.8.5     allows CRLF injection if the attacker controls the HTTP request method, as demonstrated by inserting CR     and LF control characters in the first argument of HTTPConnection.request. (CVE-2020-26116)

  - urllib3 before 1.25.9 allows CRLF injection if the attacker controls the HTTP request method, as     demonstrated by inserting CR and LF control characters in the first argument of putrequest(). NOTE: this     is similar to CVE-2020-26116. (CVE-2020-26137)

  - An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt before 3003.3. A user who has control of the source, and     source_hash URLs can gain full file system access as root on a salt minion. (CVE-2021-21996)

  - Python 3.x through 3.9.1 has a buffer overflow in PyCArg_repr in _ctypes/callproc.c, which may lead to     remote code execution in certain Python applications that accept floating-point numbers as untrusted     input, as demonstrated by a 1e300 argument to c_double.from_param. This occurs because sprintf is used     unsafely. (CVE-2021-3177)

  - In Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.3, a left shift by 29 (or more) places in the storeAtts function in     xmlparse.c can lead to realloc misbehavior (e.g., allocating too few bytes, or only freeing memory).
    (CVE-2021-45960)

  - In doProlog in xmlparse.c in Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.3, an integer overflow exists for     m_groupSize. (CVE-2021-46143)

  - The BN_mod_sqrt() function, which computes a modular square root, contains a bug that can cause it to loop     forever for non-prime moduli. Internally this function is used when parsing certificates that contain     elliptic curve public keys in compressed form or explicit elliptic curve parameters with a base point     encoded in compressed form. It is possible to trigger the infinite loop by crafting a certificate that has     invalid explicit curve parameters. Since certificate parsing happens prior to verification of the     certificate signature, any process that parses an externally supplied certificate may thus be subject to a     denial of service attack. The infinite loop can also be reached when parsing crafted private keys as they     can contain explicit elliptic curve parameters. Thus vulnerable situations include: - TLS clients     consuming server certificates - TLS servers consuming client certificates - Hosting providers taking     certificates or private keys from customers - Certificate authorities parsing certification requests from     subscribers - Anything else which parses ASN.1 elliptic curve parameters Also any other applications that     use the BN_mod_sqrt() where the attacker can control the parameter values are vulnerable to this DoS     issue. In the OpenSSL 1.0.2 version the public key is not parsed during initial parsing of the certificate     which makes it slightly harder to trigger the infinite loop. However any operation which requires the     public key from the certificate will trigger the infinite loop. In particular the attacker can use a self-     signed certificate to trigger the loop during verification of the certificate signature. This issue     affects OpenSSL versions 1.0.2, 1.1.1 and 3.0. It was addressed in the releases of 1.1.1n and 3.0.2 on the     15th March 2022. Fixed in OpenSSL 3.0.2 (Affected 3.0.0,3.0.1). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1n (Affected     1.1.1-1.1.1m). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2zd (Affected 1.0.2-1.0.2zc). (CVE-2022-0778)

  - An arbitrary file write vulnerability was found in GNU gzip's zgrep utility. When zgrep is applied on the     attacker's chosen file name (for example, a crafted file name), this can overwrite an attacker's content     to an arbitrary attacker-selected file. This flaw occurs due to insufficient validation when processing     filenames with two or more newlines where selected content and the target file names are embedded in     crafted multi-line file names. This flaw allows a remote, low privileged attacker to force zgrep to write     arbitrary files on the system. (CVE-2022-1271)

  - Apache HTTP Server 2.4.52 and earlier fails to close inbound connection when errors are encountered     discarding the request body, exposing the server to HTTP Request Smuggling (CVE-2022-22720)

  - addBinding in xmlparse.c in Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.3 has an integer overflow. (CVE-2022-22822)

  - build_model in xmlparse.c in Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.3 has an integer overflow. (CVE-2022-22823)

  - defineAttribute in xmlparse.c in Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.3 has an integer overflow.
    (CVE-2022-22824)

  - lookup in xmlparse.c in Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.3 has an integer overflow. (CVE-2022-22825)

  - nextScaffoldPart in xmlparse.c in Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.3 has an integer overflow.
    (CVE-2022-22826)

  - storeAtts in xmlparse.c in Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.3 has an integer overflow. (CVE-2022-22827)

  - Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.4 has a signed integer overflow in XML_GetBuffer, for configurations with     a nonzero XML_CONTEXT_BYTES. (CVE-2022-23852)

  - xmltok_impl.c in Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.5 lacks certain validation of encoding, such as checks     for whether a UTF-8 character is valid in a certain context. (CVE-2022-25235)

  - xmlparse.c in Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.5 allows attackers to insert namespace-separator characters     into namespace URIs. (CVE-2022-25236)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in systemd. This issue occurs due to the on_stream_io() function     and dns_stream_complete() function in 'resolved-dns-stream.c' not incrementing the reference counting for     the DnsStream object. Therefore, other functions and callbacks called can dereference the DNSStream     object, causing the use-after-free when the reference is still used later. (CVE-2022-2526)

  - In Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.5, there is an integer overflow in storeRawNames. (CVE-2022-25315)

  - If a web application sends a WebSocket message concurrently with the WebSocket connection closing when     running on Apache Tomcat 8.5.0 to 8.5.75 or Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.20, it is possible that the     application will continue to use the socket after it has been closed. The error handling triggered in this     case could cause the a pooled object to be placed in the pool twice. This could result in subsequent     connections using the same object concurrently which could result in data being returned to the wrong use     and/or other errors. (CVE-2022-25762)

  - An issue was discovered in rsync before 3.2.5 that allows malicious remote servers to write arbitrary     files inside the directories of connecting peers. The server chooses which files/directories are sent to     the client. However, the rsync client performs insufficient validation of file names. A malicious rsync     server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker) can overwrite arbitrary files in the rsync client target directory     and subdirectories (for example, overwrite the .ssh/authorized_keys file). (CVE-2022-29154)

  - The documentation of Apache Tomcat 10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.0-M14, 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.20, 9.0.13 to 9.0.62 and     8.5.38 to 8.5.78 for the EncryptInterceptor incorrectly stated it enabled Tomcat clustering to run over an     untrusted network. This was not correct. While the EncryptInterceptor does provide confidentiality and     integrity protection, it does not protect against all risks associated with running over any untrusted     network, particularly DoS risks. (CVE-2022-29885)

  - VMware Tools (12.0.0, 11.x.y and 10.x.y) contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability. A malicious     actor with local non-administrative access to the Guest OS can escalate privileges as a root user in the     virtual machine. (CVE-2022-31676)

  - The Apache Xalan Java XSLT library is vulnerable to an integer truncation issue when processing malicious     XSLT stylesheets. This can be used to corrupt Java class files generated by the internal XSLTC compiler     and execute arbitrary Java bytecode. The Apache Xalan Java project is dormant and in the process of being     retired. No future releases of Apache Xalan Java to address this issue are expected. Note: Java runtimes     (such as OpenJDK) include repackaged copies of Xalan. (CVE-2022-34169)

  - In Apache Tomcat 10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.0-M16, 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.22, 9.0.30 to 9.0.64 and 8.5.50 to 8.5.81 the     Form authentication example in the examples web application displayed user provided data without     filtering, exposing a XSS vulnerability. (CVE-2022-34305)

  - Apache Commons Text performs variable interpolation, allowing properties to be dynamically evaluated and     expanded. The standard format for interpolation is ${prefix:name}, where prefix is used to locate an     instance of org.apache.commons.text.lookup.StringLookup that performs the interpolation. Starting with     version 1.5 and continuing through 1.9, the set of default Lookup instances included interpolators that     could result in arbitrary code execution or contact with remote servers. These lookups are: - script -     execute expressions using the JVM script execution engine (javax.script) - dns - resolve dns records -     url - load values from urls, including from remote servers Applications using the interpolation defaults     in the affected versions may be vulnerable to remote code execution or unintentional contact with remote     servers if untrusted configuration values are used. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Commons     Text 1.10.0, which disables the problematic interpolators by default. (CVE-2022-42889)
