"The remote openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
openSUSE-SU-2023:0269-1 advisory.
- ** DISPUTED ** Trustwave ModSecurity 3.x through 3.0.4 allows denial of service via a special request.
NOTE: The discoverer reports Trustwave has signaled they are disputing our claims. The CVE suggests that
there is a security issue with how ModSecurity handles regular expressions that can result in a Denial of
Service condition. The vendor does not consider this as a security issue because1) there is no default
configuration issue here. An attacker would need to know that a rule using a potentially problematic
regular expression was in place, 2) the attacker would need to know the basic nature of the regular
expression itself to exploit any resource issues. It's well known that regular expression usage can be
taxing on system resources regardless of the use case. It is up to the administrator to decide on when it
is appropriate to trade resources for potential security benefit. (CVE-2020-15598)
- ModSecurity 3.x through 3.0.5 mishandles excessively nested JSON objects. Crafted JSON objects with
nesting tens-of-thousands deep could result in the web server being unable to service legitimate requests.
Even a moderately large (e.g., 300KB) HTTP request can occupy one of the limited NGINX worker processes
for minutes and consume almost all of the available CPU on the machine. Modsecurity 2 is similarly
vulnerable: the affected versions include 2.8.0 through 2.9.4. (CVE-2021-42717)
- Trustwave ModSecurity 3.0.5 through 3.0.8 before 3.0.9 allows a denial of service (worker crash and
unresponsiveness) because some inputs cause a segfault in the Transaction class for some configurations.
(CVE-2023-28882)
- Trustwave ModSecurity 3.x before 3.0.10 has Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity. (CVE-2023-38285)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
