Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 : 0229: container-tools:rhel8 (ALINUX3-SA-2024:0229)

high Nessus Plugin ID 236385

Synopsis

The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALINUX3-SA-2024:0229 advisory.

Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

CVE-2023-45290:
When parsing a multipart form (either explicitly with Request.ParseMultipartForm or implicitly with Request.FormValue, Request.PostFormValue, or Request.FormFile), limits on the total size of the parsed form were not applied to the memory consumed while reading a single form line. This permits a maliciously crafted input containing very long lines to cause allocation of arbitrarily large amounts of memory, potentially leading to memory exhaustion. With fix, the ParseMultipartForm function now correctly limits the maximum size of form lines.

CVE-2024-34155:
Calling any of the Parse functions on Go source code which contains deeply nested literals can cause a panic due to stack exhaustion.

CVE-2024-34156:
Calling Decoder.Decode on a message which contains deeply nested structures can cause a panic due to stack exhaustion. This is a follow-up to CVE-2022-30635.

CVE-2024-34158:
Calling Parse on a // +build build tag line with deeply nested expressions can cause a panic due to stack exhaustion.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux security advisory.

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 affected runc, runc-debuginfo and / or runc-debugsource packages.
