The remote Fedora 37 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-34411d8f77 advisory.

  • borgbackup is an opensource, deduplicating archiver with compression and authenticated encryption. A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in borgbackup allowed an attacker to fake archives and potentially indirectly cause backup data loss in the repository. The attack requires an attacker to be able to: 1. insert files (with no additional headers) into backups and 2. gain write access to the repository. This vulnerability does not disclose plaintext to the attacker, nor does it affect the authenticity of existing archives. Creating plausible fake archives may be feasible for empty or small archives, but is unlikely for large archives. The issue has been fixed in borgbackup 1.2.5. Users are advised to upgrade. Additionally to installing the fixed code, users must follow the upgrade procedure as documented in the change log. Data loss after being attacked can be avoided by reviewing the archives (timestamp and contents valid and as expected) after any borg check --repair and before borg prune.
    There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-36811)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
