"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced
in the ALINUX3-SA-2021:0008 advisory.
Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:
CVE-2019-3829:
A vulnerability was found in gnutls versions from 3.5.8 before 3.6.7. A memory corruption (double free)
vulnerability in the certificate verification API. Any client or server application that verifies X.509
certificates with GnuTLS 3.5.8 or later is affected.
CVE-2019-3836:
It was discovered in gnutls before version 3.6.7 upstream that there is an uninitialized pointer access in
gnutls versions 3.6.3 or later which can be triggered by certain post-handshake messages.
CVE-2020-11501:
GnuTLS 3.6.x before 3.6.13 uses incorrect cryptography for DTLS. The earliest affected version is 3.6.3
(2018-07-16) because of an error in a 2017-10-06 commit. The DTLS client always uses 32 '\0' bytes instead
of a random value, and thus contributes no randomness to a DTLS negotiation. This breaks the security
guarantees of the DTLS protocol.
CVE-2020-13777:
GnuTLS 3.6.x before 3.6.14 uses incorrect cryptography for encrypting a session ticket (a loss of
confidentiality in TLS 1.2, and an authentication bypass in TLS 1.3). The earliest affected version is
3.6.4 (2018-09-24) because of an error in a 2018-09-18 commit. Until the first key rotation, the TLS
server always uses wrong data in place of an encryption key derived from an application.
CVE-2020-24659:
An issue was discovered in GnuTLS before 3.6.15. A server can trigger a NULL pointer dereference in a TLS
1.3 client if a no_renegotiation alert is sent with unexpected timing, and then an invalid second
handshake occurs. The crash happens in the application's error handling path, where the gnutls_deinit
function is called after detecting a handshake failure.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
