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

  - A Cross-site request forgery vulnerability exists in ipa/session/login_password in all supported versions     of IPA. This flaw allows an attacker to trick the user into submitting a request that could perform     actions as the user, resulting in a loss of confidentiality and system integrity. During community     penetration testing it was found that for certain HTTP end-points FreeIPA does not ensure CSRF protection.
    Due to implementation details one cannot use this flaw for reflection of a cookie representing already     logged-in user. An attacker would always have to go through a new authentication attempt. (CVE-2023-5455)

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

It allows clients and     servers to authenticate to each other with the help of a trusted third party, the Kerberos key     distribution center (KDC).

    Security Fix(es):

    * Kerberos: delegation constrain bypass in S4U2Proxy (CVE-2020-17049)

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0349 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2023-5455:

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1778881463 advisory.

  - A Cross-site request forgery vulnerability exists in ipa/session/login_password in all supported versions     of IPA. This flaw allows an attacker to trick the user into submitting a request that could perform     actions as the user, resulting in a loss of confidentiality and system integrity. During community     penetration testing it was found that for certain HTTP end-points FreeIPA does not ensure CSRF protection.
    Due to implementation details one cannot use this flaw for reflection of a cookie representing already     logged-in user. An attacker would always have to go through a new authentication attempt. (CVE-2023-5455)

  - A flaw was found in the FreeIPA API audit, where it sends the whole FreeIPA command line to journalctl. As     a consequence, during the FreeIPA installation process, it inadvertently leaks the administrative user     credentials, including the administrator password, to the journal database. In the worst-case scenario,     where the journal log is centralized, users with access to it can have improper access to the FreeIPA     administrator credentials. (CVE-2024-11029)

  - A flaw was found in FreeIPA. This issue may allow a remote attacker to craft a HTTP request with     parameters that can be interpreted as command arguments to kinit on the FreeIPA server, which can lead to     a denial of service. (CVE-2024-1481)
