According to the versions of the shim packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A security vulnerability has been identified in all supported versions of OpenSSL related to the     verification of X.509 certificate chains that include policy constraints. Attackers may be able to exploit     this vulnerability by creating a malicious certificate chain that triggers exponential use of     computational resources, leading to a denial-of-service (DoS) attack on affected systems. Policy     processing is disabled by default but can be enabled by passing the `-policy' argument to the command line     utilities or by calling the `X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_policies()' function. (CVE-2023-0464)

  - Issue summary: Checking excessively long DH keys or parameters may be very slow. Impact summary:
    Applications that use the functions DH_check(), DH_check_ex() or EVP_PKEY_param_check() to check a DH key     or DH parameters may experience long delays. Where the key or parameters that are being checked have been     obtained from an untrusted source this may lead to a Denial of Service. The function DH_check() performs     various checks on DH parameters. One of those checks confirms that the modulus ('p' parameter) is not too     large. Trying to use a very large modulus is slow and OpenSSL will not normally use a modulus which is     over 10,000 bits in length. However the DH_check() function checks numerous aspects of the key or     parameters that have been supplied. Some of those checks use the supplied modulus value even if it has     already been found to be too large. An application that calls DH_check() and supplies a key or parameters     obtained from an untrusted source could be vulernable to a Denial of Service attack. The function     DH_check() is itself called by a number of other OpenSSL functions. An application calling any of those     other functions may similarly be affected. The other functions affected by this are DH_check_ex() and     EVP_PKEY_param_check(). Also vulnerable are the OpenSSL dhparam and pkeyparam command line applications     when using the '-check' option. The OpenSSL SSL/TLS implementation is not affected by this issue. The     OpenSSL 3.0 and 3.1 FIPS providers are not affected by this issue. (CVE-2023-3446)

  - Issue summary: Checking excessively long DH keys or parameters may be very slow. Impact summary:
    Applications that use the functions DH_check(), DH_check_ex() or EVP_PKEY_param_check() to check a DH key     or DH parameters may experience long delays. Where the key or parameters that are being checked have been     obtained from an untrusted source this may lead to a Denial of Service. The function DH_check() performs     various checks on DH parameters. After fixing CVE-2023-3446 it was discovered that a large q parameter     value can also trigger an overly long computation during some of these checks. A correct q value, if     present, cannot be larger than the modulus p parameter, thus it is unnecessary to perform these checks if     q is larger than p. An application that calls DH_check() and supplies a key or parameters obtained from an     untrusted source could be vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack. The function DH_check() is itself     called by a number of other OpenSSL functions. An application calling any of those other functions may     similarly be affected.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The version of Siemens SINEC NMS installed on the remote host is prior to 2.0.1.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA-943925 advisory.

  - coreruleset (aka OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set) through 3.3.4 does not detect multiple Content-Type     request headers on some platforms. This might allow attackers to bypass a WAF with a crafted payload,     aka Content-Type confusion between the WAF and the backend application. This occurs when the web     application relies on only the last Content-Type header. Other platforms may reject the additional     Content-Type header or merge conflicting headers, leading to detection as a malformed header.
    (CVE-2023-38199)

  - Some mod_proxy configurations on Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.0 through 2.4.55 allow a HTTP Request     Smuggling attack. Configurations are affected when mod_proxy is enabled along with some form of     RewriteRule or ProxyPassMatch in which a non-specific pattern matches some portion of the user-supplied     request-target (URL) data and is then re-inserted into the proxied request-target using variable     substitution. For example, something like: RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^/here/(.*)     http://example.com:8080/elsewhere?$1; [P] ProxyPassReverse /here/ http://example.com:8080/ Request     splitting/smuggling could result in bypass of access controls in the proxy server, proxying unintended     URLs to existing origin servers, and cache poisoning. Users are recommended to update to at least version     2.4.56 of Apache HTTP Server. (CVE-2023-25690)

  - The use of `Module._load()` can bypass the policy mechanism and require modules outside of the policy.json     definition for a given module. This vulnerability affects all users using the experimental policy     mechanism in all active release lines: 16.x, 18.x and, 20.x. Please note that at the time this CVE was     issued, the policy is an experimental feature of Node.js. (CVE-2023-32002)

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

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 6.8.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-6.8.1 advisory.

  - There is a carry propagation bug in the MIPS32 and MIPS64 squaring procedure. Many EC algorithms are     affected, including some of the TLS 1.3 default curves. Impact was not analyzed in detail, because the     pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely and include reusing private keys. Analysis suggests that     attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to perform and are not     believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just feasible (although very difficult) because most of     the work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount of     resources required for such an attack would be significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be     meaningful, the server would have to share the DH private key among multiple clients, which is no longer     an option since CVE-2016-0701. This issue affects OpenSSL versions 1.0.2, 1.1.1 and 3.0.0. It was     addressed in the releases of 1.1.1m and 3.0.1 on the 15th of December 2021. For the 1.0.2 release it is     addressed in git commit 6fc1aaaf3 that is available to premium support customers only. It will be made     available in 1.0.2zc when it is released. The issue only affects OpenSSL on MIPS platforms. Fixed in     OpenSSL 3.0.1 (Affected 3.0.0). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1m (Affected 1.1.1-1.1.1l). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2zc-     dev (Affected 1.0.2-1.0.2zb). (CVE-2021-4160)

  - CVE-2023-38545 is a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the SOCKS5 proxy handshake in libcurl and     curl.  When curl is given a hostname to pass along to a SOCKS5 proxy that is greater than 255 bytes in     length, it will switch to local name resolution in order to resolve the address before passing it on to     the SOCKS5 proxy. However, due to a bug introduced in 2020, this local name resolution could fail due to a     slow SOCKS5 handshake, causing curl to pass on the hostname greater than 255 bytes in length into the     target buffer, leading to a heap overflow.  The advisory for CVE-2023-38545 gives an example exploitation     scenario of a malicious HTTPS server redirecting to a specially crafted URL. While it might seem that an     attacker would need to influence the slowness of the SOCKS5 handshake, the advisory states that server     latency is likely slow enough to trigger this bug. (CVE-2023-38545)

  - This flaw makes curl overflow a heap based buffer in the SOCKS5 proxy handshake. When curl is asked to     pass along the host name to the SOCKS5 proxy to allow that to resolve the address instead of it getting     done by curl itself, the maximum length that host name can be is 255 bytes. If the host name is detected     to be longer, curl switches to local name resolving and instead passes on the resolved address only. Due     to this bug, the local variable that means let the host resolve the name could get the wrong value     during a slow SOCKS5 handshake, and contrary to the intention, copy the too long host name to the target     buffer instead of copying just the resolved address there. The target buffer being a heap based buffer,     and the host name coming from the URL that curl has been told to operate with. (CVE-2023-38545)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in curl <v8.1.0 when doing HTTP(S) transfers, libcurl might     erroneously use the read callback (`CURLOPT_READFUNCTION`) to ask for data to send, even when the     `CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS` option has been set, if the same handle previously wasused to issue a `PUT` request     which used that callback. This flaw may surprise the application and cause it to misbehave and either send     off the wrong data or use memory after free or similar in the second transfer. The problem exists in the     logic for a reused handle when it is (expected to be) changed from a PUT to a POST. (CVE-2023-28322)

  - This flaw allows an attacker to insert cookies at will into a running program using libcurl, if the     specific series of conditions are met. libcurl performs transfers. In its API, an application creates     easy handles that are the individual handles for single transfers. libcurl provides a function call that     duplicates en easy handle called     [curl_easy_duphandle](https://curl.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_duphandle.html). If a transfer has cookies     enabled when the handle is duplicated, the cookie-enable state is also cloned - but without cloning the     actual cookies. If the source handle did not read any cookies from a specific file on disk, the cloned     version of the handle would instead store the file name as `none` (using the four ASCII letters, no     quotes). Subsequent use of the cloned handle that does not explicitly set a source to load cookies from     would then inadvertently load cookies from a file named `none` - if such a file exists and is readable in     the current directory of the program using libcurl. And if using the correct file format of course.

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

According to the versions of the openssl packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Issue summary: Processing some specially crafted ASN.1 object identifiers or data containing them may be     very slow. Impact summary: Applications that use OBJ_obj2txt() directly, or use any of the OpenSSL     subsystems OCSP, PKCS7/SMIME, CMS, CMP/CRMF or TS with no message size limit may experience notable to     very long delays when processing those messages, which may lead to a Denial of Service. An OBJECT     IDENTIFIER is composed of a series of numbers - sub-identifiers - most of which have no size limit.
    OBJ_obj2txt() may be used to translate an ASN.1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER given in DER encoding form (using the     OpenSSL type ASN1_OBJECT) to its canonical numeric text form, which are the sub-identifiers of the OBJECT     IDENTIFIER in decimal form, separated by periods. When one of the sub-identifiers in the OBJECT IDENTIFIER     is very large (these are sizes that are seen as absurdly large, taking up tens or hundreds of KiBs), the     translation to a decimal number in text may take a very long time. The time complexity is O(n^2) with 'n'     being the size of the sub-identifiers in bytes (*). With OpenSSL 3.0, support to fetch cryptographic     algorithms using names / identifiers in string form was introduced. This includes using OBJECT IDENTIFIERs     in canonical numeric text form as identifiers for fetching algorithms. Such OBJECT IDENTIFIERs may be     received through the ASN.1 structure AlgorithmIdentifier, which is commonly used in multiple protocols to     specify what cryptographic algorithm should be used to sign or verify, encrypt or decrypt, or digest     passed data. Applications that call OBJ_obj2txt() directly with untrusted data are affected, with any     version of OpenSSL. If the use is for the mere purpose of display, the severity is considered low. In     OpenSSL 3.0 and newer, this affects the subsystems OCSP, PKCS7/SMIME, CMS, CMP/CRMF or TS. It also impacts     anything that processes X.509 certificates, including simple things like verifying its signature. The     impact on TLS is relatively low, because all versions of OpenSSL have a 100KiB limit on the peer's     certificate chain. Additionally, this only impacts clients, or servers that have explicitly enabled client     authentication. In OpenSSL 1.1.1 and 1.0.2, this only affects displaying diverse objects, such as X.509     certificates. This is assumed to not happen in such a way that it would cause a Denial of Service, so     these versions are considered not affected by this issue in such a way that it would be cause for concern,     and the severity is therefore considered low.
