TencentOS Server 3: container-tools:rhel8 (TSSA-2024:0228)

high Nessus Plugin ID 239502

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 multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0228 advisory.

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

CVE-2022-2880:
Requests forwarded by ReverseProxy include the raw query parameters from the inbound request, including unparsable parameters rejected by net/http. This could permit query parameter smuggling when a Go proxy forwards a parameter with an unparsable value. After fix, ReverseProxy sanitizes the query parameters in the forwarded query when the outbound request's Form field is set after the ReverseProxy. Director function returns, indicating that the proxy has parsed the query parameters. Proxies which do not parse query parameters continue to forward the original query parameters unchanged.

CVE-2022-41715:
Programs which compile regular expressions from untrusted sources may be vulnerable to memory exhaustion or denial of service. The parsed regexp representation is linear in the size of the input, but in some cases the constant factor can be as high as 40,000, making relatively small regexps consume much larger amounts of memory. After fix, each regexp being parsed is limited to a 256 MB memory footprint. Regular expressions whose representation would use more space than that are rejected. Normal use of regular expressions is unaffected.

CVE-2024-1753:
A flaw was found in Buildah (and subsequently Podman Build) which allows containers to mount arbitrary locations on the host filesystem into build containers. A malicious Containerfile can use a dummy image with a symbolic link to the root filesystem as a mount source and cause the mount operation to mount the host root filesystem inside the RUN step. The commands inside the RUN step will then have read-write access to the host filesystem, allowing for full container escape at build time.

CVE-2024-24786:
A flaw was found in Golang's protobuf module, where the unmarshal function can enter an infinite loop when processing certain invalid inputs. This issue occurs during unmarshaling into a message that includes a google.protobuf.Any or when the UnmarshalOptions.DiscardUnknown option is enabled. This flaw allows an attacker to craft malicious input tailored to trigger the identified flaw in the unmarshal function. By providing carefully constructed invalid inputs, they could potentially cause the function to enter an infinite loop, resulting in a denial of service condition or other unintended behaviors in the affected system.

CVE-2024-28180:
A vulnerability was found in Jose due to improper handling of highly compressed data. This issue could allow an attacker to send a JWE containing compressed data that uses large amounts of memory and CPU when decompressed by Decrypt or DecryptMulti.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent 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 packages.
