Synopsis
The remote MiracleLinux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The remote MiracleLinux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2020-760:01 advisory.* nghttp2: overly large SETTINGS frames can lead to DoS (CVE-2020-11080) nodejs-minimist: prototype pollution allows adding or modifying properties of Object.prototype using a constructor or __proto__ payload (CVE-2020-7598)
* nodejs: memory corruption in napi_get_value_string_* functions (CVE-2020-8174) CVE-2020-11080 In nghttp2 before version 1.41.0, the overly large HTTP/2 SETTINGS frame payload causes denial of service.
The proof of concept attack involves a malicious client constructing a SETTINGS frame with a length of 14,400 bytes (2400 individual settings entries) over and over again. The attack causes the CPU to spike at 100%. nghttp2 v1.41.0 fixes this vulnerability. There is a workaround to this vulnerability. Implement nghttp2_on_frame_recv_callback callback, and if received frame is SETTINGS frame and the number of settings entries are large (e.g., > 32), then drop the connection.
CVE-2020-7598 minimist before 1.2.2 could be tricked into adding or modifying properties of Object.prototype using a constructor or __proto__ payload.
CVE-2020-8174 napi_get_value_string_*() allows various kinds of memory corruption in node < 10.21.0, 12.18.0, and < 14.4.0.
