The version of docker installed on the remote host is prior to 20.10.25-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2ECS-2023-019 advisory.

    http2/hpack: avoid quadratic complexity in hpack decoding (CVE-2022-41723)

    Templates did not properly consider backticks (`) as Javascript string delimiters, and as such didnot     escape them as expected. Backticks are used, since ES6, for JS template literals. If a templatecontained a     Go template action within a Javascript template literal, the contents of the action couldbe used to     terminate the literal, injecting arbitrary Javascript code into the Go template. (CVE-2023-24538)

    html/template: improper handling of JavaScript whitespace.

    Not all valid JavaScript whitespace characters were considered to be whitespace. Templates containing     whitespace characters outside of the character set \t\n\f\r\u0020\u2028\u2029 in JavaScript contexts     that also contain actions may not be properly sanitized during execution. (CVE-2023-24540)

    Extremely large RSA keys in certificate chains can cause a client/server to expend significant CPU time     verifying signatures. With fix, the size of RSA keys transmitted during handshakes is restricted to <=     8192 bits. Based on a survey of publicly trusted RSA keys, there are currently only three certificates in     circulation with keys larger than this, and all three appear to be test certificates that are not actively     deployed. It is possible there are larger keys in use in private PKIs, but we target the web PKI, so     causing breakage here in the interests of increasing the default safety of users of crypto/tls seems     reasonable. (CVE-2023-29409)

    The HTTP/2 protocol allows a denial of service (server resource consumption) because request cancellation     can reset many streams quickly, as exploited in the wild in August through October 2023. (CVE-2023-39325)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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