The version of cmake / libuv / nodejs / nodejs18 / python-gevent installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-24806 advisory.

  - libuv is a multi-platform support library with a focus on asynchronous I/O. The `uv_getaddrinfo` function     in `src/unix/getaddrinfo.c` (and its windows counterpart `src/win/getaddrinfo.c`), truncates hostnames to     256 characters before calling `getaddrinfo`. This behavior can be exploited to create addresses like     `0x00007f000001`, which are considered valid by `getaddrinfo` and could allow an attacker to craft     payloads that resolve to unintended IP addresses, bypassing developer checks. The vulnerability arises due     to how the `hostname_ascii` variable (with a length of 256 bytes) is handled in `uv_getaddrinfo` and     subsequently in `uv__idna_toascii`. When the hostname exceeds 256 characters, it gets truncated without a     terminating null byte. As a result attackers May be able to access internal APIs or for websites (similar     to MySpace) that allows users to have `username.example.com` pages. Internal services that crawl or cache     these user pages can be exposed to SSRF attacks if a malicious user chooses a long vulnerable username.
    This issue has been addressed in release version 1.48.0. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known     workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-24806)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue 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.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:0732-1 advisory.

  - A vulnerability in the privateDecrypt() API of the crypto library, allowed a covert timing side-channel     during PKCS#1 v1.5 padding error handling. The vulnerability revealed significant timing differences in     decryption for valid and invalid ciphertexts. This poses a serious threat as attackers could remotely     exploit the vulnerability to decrypt captured RSA ciphertexts or forge signatures, especially in scenarios     involving API endpoints processing Json Web Encryption messages. Impacts: Thank you, to hkario for     reporting this vulnerability and thank you Michael Dawson for fixing it. (CVE-2023-46809)

  - A vulnerability in Node.js HTTP servers allows an attacker to send a specially crafted HTTP request with     chunked encoding, leading to resource exhaustion and denial of service (DoS). The server reads an     unbounded number of bytes from a single connection, exploiting the lack of limitations on chunk extension     bytes. The issue can cause CPU and network bandwidth exhaustion, bypassing standard safeguards like     timeouts and body size limits. (CVE-2024-22019)

  - Node.js reports: Code injection and privilege escalation through Linux capabilities- (High) http: Reading     unprocessed HTTP request with unbounded chunk extension allows DoS attacks- (High) Path traversal by     monkey-patching Buffer internals- (High) setuid() does not drop all privileges due to io_uring - (High)     Node.js is vulnerable to the Marvin Attack (timing variant of the Bleichenbacher attack against PKCS#1     v1.5 padding) - (Medium) Multiple permission model bypasses due to improper path traversal sequence     sanitization - (Medium) Improper handling of wildcards in --allow-fs-read and --allow-fs-write (Medium)     Denial of Service by resource exhaustion in fetch() brotli decoding - (Medium) (CVE-2024-22025)
