MiracleLinux 9 : toolbox-0.0.99.3-10.el9 (AXSA:2023-6548:02)
medium Nessus Plugin ID 292297
Synopsis
The remote MiracleLinux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The remote MiracleLinux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2023-6548:02 advisory.The rhel9/toolbox container image can be used with Toolbox to obtain RHEL based containerized command line environments to aid with development and software testing. Toolbox is built on top of Podman and other standard container technologies from OCI.
This updates the rhel9/toolbox image in the Cybertrust Japan Co., Ltd. container registry.
To pull this container image, run one of the following commands:
podman pull registry.redhat.io/rhel9/toolbox (authenticated) podman pull registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/toolbox (unauthenticated) CVE-2023-39325 A malicious HTTP/2 client which rapidly creates requests and immediately resets them can cause excessive server resource consumption. While the total number of requests is bounded by the http2.Server.MaxConcurrentStreams setting, resetting an in-progress request allows the attacker to create a new request while the existing one is still executing. With the fix applied, HTTP/2 servers now bound the number of simultaneously executing handler goroutines to the stream concurrency limit (MaxConcurrentStreams). New requests arriving when at the limit (which can only happen after the client has reset an existing, in-flight request) will be queued until a handler exits. If the request queue grows too large, the server will terminate the connection. This issue is also fixed in golang.org/x/net/http2 for users manually configuring HTTP/2. The default stream concurrency limit is 250 streams (requests) per HTTP/2 connection. This value may be adjusted using the golang.org/x/net/http2 package; see the Server.MaxConcurrentStreams setting and the ConfigureServer function.
CVE-2023-44487 The HTTP/2 protocol allows a denial of service (server resource consumption) because request cancellation can reset many streams quickly, as exploited in the wild in August through October 2023.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
