The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has nettle packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  • A flaw was found in gnutls. A use after free issue in client sending key_share extension may lead to memory corruption and other consequences. (CVE-2021-20231)

  • A flaw was found in gnutls. A use after free issue in client_send_params in lib/ext/pre_shared_key.c may lead to memory corruption and other potential consequences. (CVE-2021-20232)

  • A flaw was found in the way nettle’s RSA decryption functions handled specially crafted ciphertext. An attacker could use this flaw to provide a manipulated ciphertext leading to application crash and denial of service. (CVE-2021-3580)

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