critical Nessus Plugin ID 189450

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat CoreOS host is missing one or more security updates for OpenShift Container Platform 4.13.4.

Description

The remote Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:3612 advisory.

- golang: net/http: excessive memory growth in a Go server accepting HTTP/2 requests (CVE-2022-41717)

- golang.org/x/net/http2: avoid quadratic complexity in HPACK decoding (CVE-2022-41723)

- golang: crypto/tls: large handshake records may cause panics (CVE-2022-41724)

- golang: net/http, mime/multipart: denial of service from excessive resource consumption (CVE-2022-41725)

- golang: net/http, net/textproto: denial of service from excessive memory allocation (CVE-2023-24534)

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

Solution

Update the RHCOS OpenShift Container Platform 4.13.4 packages based on the guidance in RHSA-2023:3612.
