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-20230302.207 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)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - urllib3 before 1.25.9 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 putrequest(). NOTE: this     is similar to CVE-2020-26116. (CVE-2020-26137)

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - GNU Tar through 1.34 has a one-byte out-of-bounds read that results in use of uninitialized memory for a     conditional jump. Exploitation to change the flow of control has not been demonstrated. The issue occurs     in from_header in list.c via a V7 archive in which mtime has approximately 11 whitespace characters.
    (CVE-2022-48303)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

An update of the tar package has been released.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:0441-1 advisory.
