"The remote MiracleLinux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
AXSA:2024-7718:03 advisory.
* golang: net/http, x/net/http2: unlimited number of CONTINUATION frames causes DoS (CVE-2023-45288)
CVE-2023-45288
An attacker may cause an HTTP/2 endpoint to read arbitrary amounts of header data by sending an excessive
number of CONTINUATION frames. Maintaining HPACK state requires parsing and processing all HEADERS and
CONTINUATION frames on a connection. When a request's headers exceed MaxHeaderBytes, no memory is
allocated to store the excess headers, but they are still parsed. This permits an attacker to cause an
HTTP/2 endpoint to read arbitrary amounts of header data, all associated with a request which is going to
be rejected. These headers can include Huffman-encoded data which is significantly more expensive for the
receiver to decode than for an attacker to send. The fix sets a limit on the amount of excess header
frames we will process before closing a connection.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
