"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced
in the ALINUX3-SA-2024:0053 advisory.

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

    CVE-2023-0056:
    An uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability was discovered in HAProxy which could crash the
    service. This issue could allow an authenticated remote attacker to run a specially crafted malicious
    server in an OpenShift cluster. The biggest impact is to availability.

    CVE-2023-0836:
    An information leak vulnerability was discovered in HAProxy 2.1, 2.2 before 2.2.27, 2.3, 2.4 before
    2.4.21, 2.5 before 2.5.11, 2.6 before 2.6.8, 2.7 before 2.7.1. There are 5 bytes left uninitialized in the
    connection buffer when encoding the FCGI_BEGIN_REQUEST record. Sensitive data may be disclosed to
    configured FastCGI backends in an unexpected way.

    CVE-2023-25725:
    HAProxy before 2.7.3 may allow a bypass of access control because HTTP/1 headers are inadvertently lost in
    some situations, aka request smuggling. The HTTP header parsers in HAProxy may accept empty header field
    names, which could be used to truncate the list of HTTP headers and thus make some headers disappear after
    being parsed and processed for HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1. For HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, the impact is limited because
    the headers disappear before being parsed and processed, as if they had not been sent by the client. The
    fixed versions are 2.7.3, 2.6.9, 2.5.12, 2.4.22, 2.2.29, and 2.0.31.

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.");
