The version of cloud-hypervisor-cvm / hvloader / kata-containers / kata-containers-cc / nodejs / openssl installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-0727 advisory.

  - Issue summary: Processing a maliciously formatted PKCS12 file May lead OpenSSL to crash leading to a     potential Denial of Service attack Impact summary: Applications loading files in the PKCS12 format from     untrusted sources might terminate abruptly. A file in PKCS12 format can contain certificates and keys and     May come from an untrusted source. The PKCS12 specification allows certain fields to be NULL, but OpenSSL     does not correctly check for this case. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference that results in     OpenSSL crashing. If an application processes PKCS12 files from an untrusted source using the OpenSSL APIs     then that application will be vulnerable to this issue. OpenSSL APIs that are vulnerable to this are:
    PKCS12_parse(), PKCS12_unpack_p7data(), PKCS12_unpack_p7encdata(), PKCS12_unpack_authsafes() and     PKCS12_newpass(). We have also fixed a similar issue in SMIME_write_PKCS7(). However since this function     is related to writing data we do not consider it security significant. The FIPS modules in 3.2, 3.1 and     3.0 are not affected by this issue. (CVE-2024-0727)

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