Synopsis

The remote CentOS host is missing a security update for toolbox.

Description

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the toolbox-0.0.99.3-9.el9 build changelog.

- An attacker can cause excessive memory growth in a Go server accepting HTTP/2 requests. HTTP/2 server connections contain a cache of HTTP header keys sent by the client. While the total number of entries in this cache is capped, an attacker sending very large keys can cause the server to allocate approximately 64 MiB per open connection. (CVE-2022-41717)

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

Solution

Update the CentOS 9 Stream toolbox package.
