The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202405-22 (rsync: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  - zlib before 1.2.12 allows memory corruption when deflating (i.e., when compressing) if the input has many     distant matches. (CVE-2018-25032)

  - A flaw was found in rsync in versions since 3.2.0pre1. Rsync improperly validates certificate with host     mismatch vulnerability. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could exploit the flaw by performing a man-in-     the-middle attack using a valid certificate for another hostname which could compromise confidentiality     and integrity of data transmitted using rsync-ssl. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality and integrity. This flaw affects rsync versions before 3.2.4. (CVE-2020-14387)

  - An issue was discovered in rsync before 3.2.5 that allows malicious remote servers to write arbitrary     files inside the directories of connecting peers. The server chooses which files/directories are sent to     the client. However, the rsync client performs insufficient validation of file names. A malicious rsync     server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker) can overwrite arbitrary files in the rsync client target directory     and subdirectories (for example, overwrite the .ssh/authorized_keys file). (CVE-2022-29154)

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2022:6551 advisory.

    The redhat-virtualization-host packages provide the Red Hat Virtualization Host. These packages include     redhat-release-virtualization-host, ovirt-node, and rhev-hypervisor.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has rsync packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - zlib before 1.2.12 allows memory corruption when deflating (i.e., when compressing) if the input has many     distant matches. (CVE-2018-25032)

  - An issue was discovered in rsync before 3.2.5 that allows malicious remote servers to write arbitrary     files inside the directories of connecting peers. The server chooses which files/directories are sent to     the client. However, the rsync client performs insufficient validation of file names. A malicious rsync     server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker) can overwrite arbitrary files in the rsync client target directory     and subdirectories (for example, overwrite the .ssh/authorized_keys file). (CVE-2022-29154)

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 6.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-6.6 advisory.

  - In Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.3, a left shift by 29 (or more) places in the storeAtts function in     xmlparse.c can lead to realloc misbehavior (e.g., allocating too few bytes, or only freeing memory).
    (CVE-2021-45960)

  - Apache Commons Text performs variable interpolation, allowing properties to be dynamically evaluated and     expanded. The standard format for interpolation is ${prefix:name}, where prefix is used to locate an     instance of org.apache.commons.text.lookup.StringLookup that performs the interpolation. Starting with     version 1.5 and continuing through 1.9, the set of default Lookup instances included interpolators that     could result in arbitrary code execution or contact with remote servers. These lookups are: - script -     execute expressions using the JVM script execution engine (javax.script) - dns - resolve dns records -     url - load values from urls, including from remote servers Applications using the interpolation defaults     in the affected versions may be vulnerable to remote code execution or unintentional contact with remote     servers if untrusted configuration values are used. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Commons     Text 1.10.0, which disables the problematic interpolators by default. (CVE-2022-42889)

  - In Apache Tomcat 10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.0-M16, 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.22, 9.0.30 to 9.0.64 and 8.5.50 to 8.5.81 the     Form authentication example in the examples web application displayed user provided data without     filtering, exposing a XSS vulnerability. (CVE-2022-34305)

  - An arbitrary file write vulnerability was found in GNU gzip's zgrep utility. When zgrep is applied on the     attacker's chosen file name (for example, a crafted file name), this can overwrite an attacker's content     to an arbitrary attacker-selected file. This flaw occurs due to insufficient validation when processing     filenames with two or more newlines where selected content and the target file names are embedded in     crafted multi-line file names. This flaw allows a remote, low privileged attacker to force zgrep to write     arbitrary files on the system. (CVE-2022-1271)

  - http.client in Python 3.x before 3.5.10, 3.6.x before 3.6.12, 3.7.x before 3.7.9, and 3.8.x before 3.8.5     allows CRLF injection if the attacker controls the HTTP request method, as demonstrated by inserting CR     and LF control characters in the first argument of HTTPConnection.request. (CVE-2020-26116)

The version of AHV installed on the remote host is prior to 20220304.242. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AHV-20220304.242 advisory.

  - In Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.5, there is an integer overflow in storeRawNames. (CVE-2022-25315)

  - In Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.3, a left shift by 29 (or more) places in the storeAtts function in     xmlparse.c can lead to realloc misbehavior (e.g., allocating too few bytes, or only freeing memory).
    (CVE-2021-45960)

  - An issue was discovered in the Bidirectional Algorithm in the Unicode Specification through 14.0. It     permits the visual reordering of characters via control sequences, which can be used to craft source code     that renders different logic than the logical ordering of tokens ingested by compilers and interpreters.
    Adversaries can leverage this to encode source code for compilers accepting Unicode such that targeted     vulnerabilities are introduced invisibly to human reviewers. NOTE: the Unicode Consortium offers the     following alternative approach to presenting this concern. An issue is noted in the nature of     international text that can affect applications that implement support for The Unicode Standard and the     Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm (all versions). Due to text display behavior when text includes left-to-     right and right-to-left characters, the visual order of tokens may be different from their logical order.
    Additionally, control characters needed to fully support the requirements of bidirectional text can     further obfuscate the logical order of tokens. Unless mitigated, an adversary could craft source code such     that the ordering of tokens perceived by human reviewers does not match what will be processed by a     compiler/interpreter/etc. The Unicode Consortium has documented this class of vulnerability in its     document, Unicode Technical Report #36, Unicode Security Considerations. The Unicode Consortium also     provides guidance on mitigations for this class of issues in Unicode Technical Standard #39, Unicode     Security Mechanisms, and in Unicode Standard Annex #31, Unicode Identifier and Pattern Syntax. Also, the     BIDI specification allows applications to tailor the implementation in ways that can mitigate misleading     visual reordering in program text; see HL4 in Unicode Standard Annex #9, Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm.
