The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALINUX3-SA-2022:0047 advisory.

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

    CVE-2020-12825:
    libcroco through 0.6.13 has excessive recursion in cr_parser_parse_any_core in cr-parser.c, leading to     stack consumption.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux 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 version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2022:0047 advisory.

The version of AHV installed on the remote host is prior to 20201105.1021. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AHV-20201105.1021 advisory.

  - In Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.46, several cryptographic primitives had missing length     checks. In cases where the application calling the library did not perform a sanity check on the inputs it     could result in a crash due to a buffer overflow. (CVE-2019-17006)

  - Heap buffer overflow in the TFTP protocol handler in cURL 7.19.4 to 7.65.3. (CVE-2019-5482)

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Server product of Oracle MySQL (component: Server: Optimizer). Supported     versions that are affected are 5.6.45 and prior, 5.7.27 and prior and 8.0.17 and prior. Easily exploitable     vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise     MySQL Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang     or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server. (CVE-2019-2974)

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Client product of Oracle MySQL (component: C API). Supported versions that are     affected are 5.6.46 and prior, 5.7.28 and prior and 8.0.18 and prior. Difficult to exploit vulnerability     allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Client.
    Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently     repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Client. (CVE-2020-2574)

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Client product of Oracle MySQL (component: C API). Supported versions that are     affected are 5.6.47 and prior, 5.7.27 and prior and 8.0.17 and prior. Difficult to exploit vulnerability     allows low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Client.
    Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently     repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Client. (CVE-2020-2752)

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

  - libcroco through 0.6.13 has excessive recursion in cr_parser_parse_any_core in cr-parser.c, leading to     stack consumption. (CVE-2020-12825)

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

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5389-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Libcroco was incorrectly accessing data structures when reading bytes from memory,     which could cause a heap buffer overflow. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of     service. (CVE-2017-7960)

    It was discovered that Libcroco was incorrectly handling invalid UTF-8 values when processing CSS files.
    An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2017-8834, CVE-2017-8871)

    It was discovered that Libcroco was incorrectly implementing recursion in one of its parsing functions,     which could cause an infinite recursion loop and a stack overflow due to stack consumption. An attacker     could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2020-12825)

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

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