The remote Fedora 39 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2024-22b915e51a advisory.

  • OpenTelemetry-Go Contrib is a collection of third-party packages for OpenTelemetry-Go. A handler wrapper out of the box adds labels http.user_agent and http.method that have unbound cardinality. It leads to the serverโ€™s potential memory exhaustion when many malicious requests are sent to it. HTTP header User- Agent or HTTP method for requests can be easily set by an attacker to be random and long. The library internally uses httpconv.ServerRequest that records every value for HTTP method and User-Agent. In order to be affected, a program has to use the otelhttp.NewHandler wrapper and not filter any unknown HTTP methods or User agents on the level of CDN, LB, previous middleware, etc. Version 0.44.0 fixed this issue when the values collected for attribute http.request.method were changed to be restricted to a set of well-known values and other high cardinality attributes were removed. As a workaround to stop being affected, otelhttp.WithFilter() can be used, but it requires manual careful configuration to not log certain requests entirely. For convenience and safe usage of this library, it should by default mark with the label unknown non-standard HTTP methods and User agents to show that such requests were made but do not increase cardinality. In case someone wants to stay with the current behavior, library API should allow to enable it. (CVE-2023-45142)

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