critical Nessus Plugin ID 235278

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of fcgi installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2025-23016 advisory.

 - FastCGI fcgi2 (aka fcgi) 2.x through 2.4.4 has an integer overflow (and resultant heap-based buffer overflow) via crafted nameLen or valueLen values in data to the IPC socket. This occurs in ReadParams in fcgiapp.c. (CVE-2025-23016)
