"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced
in the ALINUX3-SA-2024:0081 advisory.

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

    CVE-2023-50269:
    Squid is a caching proxy for the Web. Due to an Uncontrolled Recursion bug in versions 2.6 through
    2.7.STABLE9, versions 3.1 through 5.9, and versions 6.0.1 through 6.5, Squid may be vulnerable to a Denial
    of Service attack against HTTP Request parsing. This problem allows a remote client to perform Denial of
    Service attack by sending a large X-Forwarded-For header when the follow_x_forwarded_for feature is
    configured. This bug is fixed by Squid version 6.6. In addition, patches addressing this problem for the
    stable releases can be found in Squid's patch archives.

    CVE-2024-25111:
    Squid is a web proxy cache. Starting in version 3.5.27 and prior to version 6.8, Squid may be vulnerable
    to a Denial of Service attack against HTTP Chunked decoder due to an uncontrolled recursion bug. This
    problem allows a remote attacker to cause Denial of Service when sending a crafted, chunked, encoded HTTP
    Message. This bug is fixed in Squid version 6.8. In addition, patches addressing this problem for the
    stable releases can be found in Squid's patch archives. There is no workaround for this issue.

    CVE-2024-25617:
    Squid is an open source caching proxy for the Web supporting HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and more. Due to a Collapse
    of Data into Unsafe Value bug ,Squid may be vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack against HTTP header
    parsing. This problem allows a remote client or a remote server to perform Denial of Service when sending
    oversized headers in HTTP messages. In versions of Squid prior to 6.5 this can be achieved if the
    request_header_max_size or reply_header_max_size settings are unchanged from the default. In Squid version
    6.5 and later, the default setting of these parameters is safe. Squid will emit a critical warning in
    cache.log if the administrator is setting these parameters to unsafe values. Squid will not at this time
    prevent these settings from being changed to unsafe values. Users are advised to upgrade to version 6.5.
    There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. This issue is also tracked as SQUID-2024:2
