high Nessus Plugin ID 239033

Synopsis

The remote TencentOS Server 3 host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0110 advisory.

Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

CVE-2024-30156:
A flaw was found in the Varnish cache server, with HTTP/2 support enabled, that may allow a Denial of Service type of attack. A malicious actor can cause the server to run out of credits during the HTTP/2 connection control flow. As a consequence, the server will stop to properly process the active HTTP streams, retaining the already allocated resources, leading to resource starvation.

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

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 affected packages.
