AlmaLinux 9.2 [TuxCare] Security Update: git-lfs Multiple Vulnerabilities (ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1762539123)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 361151

Synopsis

The AlmaLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1762539123 advisory.

 - Processing an incomplete post-handshake message for a QUIC connection can cause a panic. (CVE-2023-39321)

 - QUIC connections do not set an upper bound on the amount of data buffered when reading post-handshake messages, allowing a malicious QUIC connection to cause unbounded memory growth. With fix, connections now consistently reject messages larger than 65KiB in size. (CVE-2023-39322)

 - An attacker may cause an HTTP/2 endpoint to read arbitrary amounts of header data by sending an excessive number of CONTINUATION frames. Maintaining HPACK state requires parsing and processing all HEADERS and CONTINUATION frames on a connection. When a request's headers exceed MaxHeaderBytes, no memory is allocated to store the excess headers, but they are still parsed. This permits an attacker to cause an HTTP/2 endpoint to read arbitrary amounts of header data, all associated with a request which is going to be rejected. These headers can include Huffman-encoded data which is significantly more expensive for the receiver to decode than for an attacker to send. The fix sets a limit on the amount of excess header frames we will process before closing a connection. (CVE-2023-45288)

 - A malformed DNS message in response to a query can cause the Lookup functions to get stuck in an infinite loop. (CVE-2024-24788)

 - The various Is methods (IsPrivate, IsLoopback, etc) did not work as expected for IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses, returning false for addresses which would return true in their traditional IPv4 forms.
 (CVE-2024-24790)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected git-lfs package based on the guidance in TuxCare advisory ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1762539123.
