"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced
in the ALINUX3-SA-2024:0187 advisory.

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

    CVE-2022-24795:
    yajl-ruby is a C binding to the YAJL JSON parsing and generation library. The 1.x branch and the 2.x
    branch of `yajl` contain an integer overflow which leads to subsequent heap memory corruption when dealing
    with large (~2GB) inputs. The reallocation logic at `yajl_buf.c#L64` may result in the `need` 32bit
    integer wrapping to 0 when `need` approaches a value of 0x80000000 (i.e. ~2GB of data), which results in a
    reallocation of buf->alloc into a small heap chunk. These integers are declared as `size_t` in the 2.x
    branch of `yajl`, which practically prevents the issue from triggering on 64bit platforms, however this
    does not preclude this issue triggering on 32bit builds on which `size_t` is a 32bit integer. Subsequent
    population of this under-allocated heap chunk is based on the original buffer size, leading to heap memory
    corruption. This vulnerability mostly impacts process availability. Maintainers believe exploitation for
    arbitrary code execution is unlikely. A patch is available and anticipated to be part of yajl-ruby version
    1.4.2. As a workaround, avoid passing large inputs to YAJL.

    CVE-2023-33460:
    There's a memory leak in yajl 2.1.0 with use of yajl_tree_parse function. which will cause out-of-memory
    in server and cause crash.

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.");
