"The version of docker installed on the remote host is prior to 20.10.17-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2ECS-2025-059 advisory.

    Reader.Read does not set a limit on the maximum size of file headers. A maliciously crafted archive could
    cause Read to allocate unbounded amounts of memory, potentially causing resource exhaustion or panics.
    After fix, Reader.Read limits the maximum size of header blocks to 1 MiB. (CVE-2022-2879)

    Programs which compile regular expressions from untrusted sources may be vulnerable to memory exhaustion
    or denial of service. The parsed regexp representation is linear in the size of the input, but in some
    cases the constant factor can be as high as 40,000, making relatively small regexps consume much larger
    amounts of memory. After fix, each regexp being parsed is limited to a 256 MB memory footprint. Regular
    expressions whose representation would use more space than that are rejected. Normal use of regular
    expressions is unaffected. (CVE-2022-41715)

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.");
