"The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
ALSA-2024:0888 advisory.
- Issue summary: Checking excessively long DH keys or parameters may be very slow. Impact summary:
Applications that use the functions DH_check(), DH_check_ex() or EVP_PKEY_param_check() to check a DH key
or DH parameters may experience long delays. Where the key or parameters that are being checked have been
obtained from an untrusted source this may lead to a Denial of Service. The function DH_check() performs
various checks on DH parameters. One of those checks confirms that the modulus ('p' parameter) is not too
large. Trying to use a very large modulus is slow and OpenSSL will not normally use a modulus which is
over 10,000 bits in length. However the DH_check() function checks numerous aspects of the key or
parameters that have been supplied. Some of those checks use the supplied modulus value even if it has
already been found to be too large. An application that calls DH_check() and supplies a key or parameters
obtained from an untrusted source could be vulernable to a Denial of Service attack. The function
DH_check() is itself called by a number of other OpenSSL functions. An application calling any of those
other functions may similarly be affected. The other functions affected by this are DH_check_ex() and
EVP_PKEY_param_check(). Also vulnerable are the OpenSSL dhparam and pkeyparam command line applications
when using the '-check' option. The OpenSSL SSL/TLS implementation is not affected by this issue. The
OpenSSL 3.0 and 3.1 FIPS providers are not affected by this issue. (CVE-2023-3446)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
