"The remote MiracleLinux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2024-8285:05 advisory.
The podman tool manages pods, container images, and containers. It is part of the libpod library, which is
for applications that use container pods. Container pods is a concept in Kubernetes.
Security Fixes:
* podman: jose-go: improper handling of highly compressed data (CVE-2024-28180)
* podman: golang: net/[http:](http:) memory exhaustion in Request.ParseMultipartForm (CVE-2023-45290)
* podman: jose: resource exhaustion (CVE-2024-28176)
CVE-2023-45290
When parsing a multipart form (either explicitly with Request.ParseMultipartForm or implicitly with
Request.FormValue, Request.PostFormValue, or Request.FormFile), limits on the total size of the parsed
form were not applied to the memory consumed while reading a single form line. This permits a maliciously
crafted input containing very long lines to cause allocation of arbitrarily large amounts of memory,
potentially leading to memory exhaustion. With fix, the ParseMultipartForm function now correctly limits
the maximum size of form lines.
CVE-2024-28176
jose is JavaScript module for JSON Object Signing and Encryption, providing support for JSON Web Tokens
(JWT), JSON Web Signature (JWS), JSON Web Encryption (JWE), JSON Web Key (JWK), JSON Web Key Set (JWKS),
and more. A vulnerability has been identified in the JSON Web Encryption (JWE) decryption interfaces,
specifically related to the support for decompressing plaintext after its decryption. Under certain
conditions it is possible to have the user's environment consume unreasonable amount of CPU time or memory
during JWE Decryption operations. This issue has been patched in versions 2.0.7 and 4.15.5.
CVE-2024-28180
Package jose aims to provide an implementation of the Javascript Object Signing and Encryption set of
standards. An attacker could send a JWE containing compressed data that used large amounts of memory and
CPU when decompressed by Decrypt or DecryptMulti. Those functions now return an error if the decompressed
data would exceed 250kB or 10x the compressed size (whichever is larger). This vulnerability has been
patched in versions 4.0.1, 3.0.3 and 2.6.3.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
