medium Nessus Plugin ID 270216

Language:

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.

 - Despite HTTP headers having a default limit of 1MB, the number of cookies that can be parsed does not have a limit. By sending a lot of very small cookies such as a=;, an attacker can make an HTTP server allocate a large amount of structs, causing large memory consumption. (CVE-2025-58186)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
