The version of nghttp2 installed on the remote host is prior to 1.41.0-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2020-1445 advisory.

    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-2020-11080)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:2852 advisory.

    Node.js is a software development platform for building fast and scalable network applications in the     JavaScript programming language.

    The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: nodejs (12.18.2).

    Security Fix(es):

    * 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: TLS session reuse can lead to hostname verification bypass (CVE-2020-8172)

    * nodejs: memory corruption in napi_get_value_string_* functions (CVE-2020-8174)

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6142-1 advisory.

    Gal Goldshtein discovered that nghttp2 incorrectly handled certain inputs. If a user or an automated     system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this     issue to cause a denial of service.

An update of the mysql package has been released.

The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALINUX3-SA-2022:0101 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2019-9513:
    Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to resource loops, potentially leading to a denial of service.
    The attacker creates multiple request streams and continually shuffles the priority of the streams in a     way that causes substantial churn to the priority tree. This can consume excess CPU.

    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.
