EulerOS 2.0 SP11 : kata-containers (EulerOS-SA-2026-2208)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 319992

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the kata-containers package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 gRPC-Go is the Go language implementation of gRPC. Versions prior to 1.79.3 have an authorization bypass resulting from improper input validation of the HTTP/2 `:path` pseudo-header. The gRPC-Go server was too lenient in its routing logic, accepting requests where the `:path` omitted the mandatory leading slash (e.g., `Service/Method` instead of `/Service/Method`). While the server successfully routed these requests to the correct handler, authorization interceptors (including the official `grpc/authz` package) evaluated the raw, non-canonical path string. Consequently, 'deny' rules defined using canonical paths (starting with `/`) failed to match the incoming request, allowing it to bypass the policy if a fallback 'allow' rule was present. This affects gRPC-Go servers that use path-based authorization interceptors, such as the official RBAC implementation in `google.golang.org/grpc/authz` or custom interceptors relying on `info.FullMethod` or `grpc.Method(ctx)`; AND that have a security policy contains specific 'deny' rules for canonical paths but allows other requests by default (a fallback 'allow' rule). The vulnerability is exploitable by an attacker who can send raw HTTP/2 frames with malformed `:path` headers directly to the gRPC server. The fix in version 1.79.3 ensures that any request with a `:path` that does not start with a leading slash is immediately rejected with a `codes.Unimplemented` error, preventing it from reaching authorization interceptors or handlers with a non-canonical path string. While upgrading is the most secure and recommended path, users can mitigate the vulnerability using one of the following methods: Use a validating interceptor (recommended mitigation); infrastructure-level normalization; and/or policy hardening.(CVE-2026-33186)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS kata-containers 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 kata-containers packages.
