"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced
in the ALINUX3-SA-2023:0037 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2021-35065:
    The glob-parent package before 6.0.1 for Node.js allows ReDoS (regular expression denial of service)
    attacks against the enclosure regular expression.

    CVE-2022-25881:
    This affects versions of the package http-cache-semantics before 4.1.1. The issue can be exploited via
    malicious request header values sent to a server, when that server reads the cache policy from the request
    using this library.

    CVE-2022-3517:
    A vulnerability was found in the minimatch package. This flaw allows a Regular Expression Denial of
    Service (ReDoS) when calling the braceExpand function with specific arguments, resulting in a Denial of
    Service.

    CVE-2022-38900:
    decode-uri-component 0.2.0 is vulnerable to Improper Input Validation resulting in DoS.

    CVE-2022-4904:
    A flaw was found in the c-ares package. The ares_set_sortlist is missing checks about the validity of the
    input string, which allows a possible arbitrary length stack overflow. This issue may cause a denial of
    service or a limited impact on confidentiality and integrity.

    CVE-2023-23918:
    A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Node.js <19.6.1, <18.14.1, <16.19.1 and <14.21.3 that made
    it possible to bypass the experimental Permissions (https://nodejs.org/api/permissions.html) feature in
    Node.js and access non authorized modules by using process.mainModule.require(). This only affects users
    who had enabled the experimental permissions option with --experimental-policy.

    CVE-2023-23920:
    An untrusted search path vulnerability exists in Node.js. <19.6.1, <18.14.1, <16.19.1, and <14.21.3 that
    could allow an attacker to search and potentially load ICU data when running with elevatedprivileges.
