The version of containerd installed on the remote host is prior to 1.7.20-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2ECS-2024-040 advisory.
2024-08-27: CVE-2024-24790 was added to this advisory.
The various Is methods (IsPrivate, IsLoopback, etc) did not work as expected for IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses, returning false for addresses which would return true in their traditional IPv4 forms.
(CVE-2024-24790)
Package jose aims to provide an implementation of the Javascript Object Signing and Encryption set of standards. An attacker could send a JWE containing compressed data that used large amounts of memory and CPU when decompressed by Decrypt or DecryptMulti. Those functions now return an error if the decompressed data would exceed 250kB or 10x the compressed size (whichever is larger). This vulnerability has been patched in versions 4.0.1, 3.0.3 and 2.6.3. (CVE-2024-28180)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
