The version of ruby installed on the remote host is prior to 2.0.0.648-36. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2503 advisory.

    The cgi gem before 0.1.0.2, 0.2.x before 0.2.2, and 0.3.x before 0.3.5 for Ruby allows HTTP response     splitting. This is relevant to applications that use untrusted user input either to generate an HTTP     response or to create a CGI::Cookie object. (CVE-2021-33621)

The version of AHV installed on the remote host is prior to 20230302.102005. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AHV-20230302.1011 advisory.

  - Error handling in the SSH protocol in (1) SSH Tectia Client and Server and Connector 4.0 through 4.4.11,     5.0 through 5.2.4, and 5.3 through 5.3.8; Client and Server and ConnectSecure 6.0 through 6.0.4; Server     for Linux on IBM System z 6.0.4; Server for IBM z/OS 5.5.1 and earlier, 6.0.0, and 6.0.1; and Client 4.0-J     through 4.3.3-J and 4.0-K through 4.3.10-K; and (2) OpenSSH 4.7p1 and possibly other versions, when using     a block cipher algorithm in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode, makes it easier for remote attackers to     recover certain plaintext data from an arbitrary block of ciphertext in an SSH session via unknown     vectors. (CVE-2008-5161)

  - The PKCS#11 feature in ssh-agent in OpenSSH before 9.3p2 has an insufficiently trustworthy search path,     leading to remote code execution if an agent is forwarded to an attacker-controlled system. (Code in     /usr/lib is not necessarily safe for loading into ssh-agent.) NOTE: this issue exists because of an     incomplete fix for CVE-2016-10009. (CVE-2023-38408)

  - A NULL pointer dereference was found In libssh during re-keying with algorithm guessing. This issue may     allow an authenticated client to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-1667)

  - A vulnerability was found in libssh, where the authentication check of the connecting client can be     bypassed in the`pki_verify_data_signature` function in memory allocation problems. This issue may happen     if there is insufficient memory or the memory usage is limited. The problem is caused by the return value     `rc,` which is initialized to SSH_ERROR and later rewritten to save the return value of the function call     `pki_key_check_hash_compatible.` The value of the variable is not changed between this point and the     cryptographic verification. Therefore any error between them calls `goto error` returning SSH_OK.
    (CVE-2023-2283)

  - Every `named` instance configured to run as a recursive resolver maintains a cache database holding the     responses to the queries it has recently sent to authoritative servers. The size limit for that cache     database can be configured using the `max-cache-size` statement in the configuration file; it defaults to     90% of the total amount of memory available on the host. When the size of the cache reaches 7/8 of the     configured limit, a cache-cleaning algorithm starts to remove expired and/or least-recently used RRsets     from the cache, to keep memory use below the configured limit. It has been discovered that the     effectiveness of the cache-cleaning algorithm used in `named` can be severely diminished by querying the     resolver for specific RRsets in a certain order, effectively allowing the configured `max-cache-size`     limit to be significantly exceeded. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.16.41, 9.18.0     through 9.18.15, 9.19.0 through 9.19.13, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.16.41-S1, and 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.15-S1.

This Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address critical security updates :

The remote AlmaLinux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2024:1576 advisory.

    * ruby/cgi-gem: HTTP response splitting in CGI (CVE-2021-33621)
    * ruby: ReDoS vulnerability in URI (CVE-2023-28755)
    * ruby: ReDoS vulnerability - upstream's incomplete fix for CVE-2023-28755 (CVE-2023-36617)
    * ruby: ReDoS vulnerability in Time (CVE-2023-28756)

    Bug Fix(es):

The remote Rocky Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2024:1576 advisory.

  - The cgi gem before 0.1.0.2, 0.2.x before 0.2.2, and 0.3.x before 0.3.5 for Ruby allows HTTP response     splitting. This is relevant to applications that use untrusted user input either to generate an HTTP     response or to create a CGI::Cookie object. (CVE-2021-33621)

  - A ReDoS issue was discovered in the URI component through 0.12.0 in Ruby through 3.2.1. The URI parser     mishandles invalid URLs that have specific characters. It causes an increase in execution time for parsing     strings to URI objects. The fixed versions are 0.12.1, 0.11.1, 0.10.2 and 0.10.0.1. (CVE-2023-28755)

  - A ReDoS issue was discovered in the Time component through 0.2.1 in Ruby through 3.2.1. The Time parser     mishandles invalid URLs that have specific characters. It causes an increase in execution time for parsing     strings to Time objects. The fixed versions are 0.1.1 and 0.2.2. (CVE-2023-28756)

  - A ReDoS issue was discovered in the URI component before 0.12.2 for Ruby. The URI parser mishandles     invalid URLs that have specific characters. There is an increase in execution time for parsing strings to     URI objects with rfc2396_parser.rb and rfc3986_parser.rb. NOTE: this issue exists becuse of an incomplete     fix for CVE-2023-28755. Version 0.10.3 is also a fixed version. (CVE-2023-36617)
