Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2024-47609

high Nessus Plugin ID 255934

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- Tonic is a native gRPC client & server implementation with async/await support. When using tonic::transport::Server there is a remote DoS attack that can cause the server to exit cleanly on accepting a TCP/TLS stream. This can be triggered by causing the accept call to error out with errors that were not covered correctly causing the accept loop to exit. Upgrading to tonic 0.12.3 and above contains the fix. (CVE-2024-47609)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
