The remote Debian 11 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5316 advisory.
The Bzip2 decompression decoder function doesn’t allow setting size restrictions on the decompressed output data (which affects the allocation size used during decompression). All users of Bzip2Decoder are affected. The malicious input can trigger an OOME and so a DoS attack (CVE-2021-37136)
The Snappy frame decoder function doesn’t restrict the chunk length which may lead to excessive memory usage. Beside this it also may buffer reserved skippable chunks until the whole chunk was received which may lead to excessive memory usage as well. This vulnerability can be triggered by supplying malicious input that decompresses to a very big size (via a network stream or a file) or by sending a huge skippable chunk. (CVE-2021-37137)
Netty is an asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol servers & clients. Netty prior to version 4.1.71.Final skips control chars when they are present at the beginning / end of the header name. It should instead fail fast as these are not allowed by the spec and could lead to HTTP request smuggling. Failing to do the validation might cause netty to sanitize header names before it forward these to another remote system when used as proxy. This remote system can’t see the invalid usage anymore, and therefore does not do the validation itself. Users should upgrade to version 4.1.71.Final. (CVE-2021-43797)
Netty project is an event-driven asynchronous network application framework. In versions prior to 4.1.86.Final, a StackOverflowError can be raised when parsing a malformed crafted message due to an infinite recursion. This issue is patched in version 4.1.86.Final. There is no workaround, except using a custom HaProxyMessageDecoder. (CVE-2022-41881)
Netty project is an event-driven asynchronous network application framework. Starting in version 4.1.83.Final and prior to 4.1.86.Final, when calling DefaultHttpHeadesr.set
with an iterator of values, header value validation was not performed, allowing malicious header values in the iterator to perform HTTP Response Splitting. This issue has been patched in version 4.1.86.Final. Integrators can work around the issue by changing the DefaultHttpHeaders.set(CharSequence, Iterator<?>)
call, into a remove()
call, and call add()
in a loop over the iterator of values. (CVE-2022-41915)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
