medium Nessus Plugin ID 269699

Language:

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:03467-1 advisory.

Update to version 5.6.9.

- CVE-2024-45614: improper header normalization allows for clients to clobber proxy set headers, which can lead to information leaks (bsc#1230848, fixed in an earlier update).
- CVE-2024-21647: unbounded resource consumption due to invalid parsing of chunked encoding in HTTP/1.1 can lead to denial-of-service attacks (bsc#1218638, fixed in an earlier update)
- CVE-2023-40175: incorrect behavior when parsing chunked transfer encoding bodies and zero-length Content-Length headers can lead to HTTP request smuggling attacks (bsc#1214425, fixed in an earlier update).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE 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 ruby2.5-rubygem-puma and / or ruby2.5-rubygem-puma-doc packages.
