high Nessus Plugin ID 289607

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2017-2274:01 advisory.

 * It was found that docker-distribution did not properly restrict memory allocation size for a registry instance through the manifest endpoint. An attacker could send a specially crafted request that would exhaust the memory of the docker-distribution service. (CVE-2017-11468) CVE-2017-11468 Docker Registry before 2.6.2 in Docker Distribution does not properly restrict the amount of content accepted from a user, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via the manifest endpoint.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux 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 docker-distribution package.
