"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 2 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0116 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 2 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2023-46724:
    A flaw was found in Squid. Due to an improper validation of the specified index bug, Squid compiled using
    `--with-openssl` is vulnerable to a denial of service attack against SSL Certificate validation. This flaw
    allows a remote server to perform a denial of service against the Squid Proxy by initiating a TLS
    Handshake with a specially crafted SSL Certificate in a server certificate chain. This attack is limited
    to HTTPS and SSL-Bump.

    CVE-2023-46728:
    Squid is a caching proxy for the Web supporting HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and more. Due to a NULL pointer
    dereference bug Squid is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack against Squid's Gopher gateway. The
    gopher protocol is always available and enabled in Squid. This issue may lead to a remote denial of
    service via gopher URL requests.

    CVE-2023-49285:
    A buffer over-read flaw was found in Squid's HTTP Message processing feature. This issue may allow
    attackers to perform remote denial of service.

    CVE-2023-49286:
    A flaw was found in Squid due to an incorrect check of the return value in the helper process management.
    This issue may allow attackers to perform remote denial of service.

    CVE-2023-50269:
    A flaw was found in Squid, which is susceptible to a Denial of Service (DoS) due to an Uncontrolled
    Recursion bug, specifically targeting HTTP Request parsing. Exploiting this issue involves a remote client
    initiating a DoS attack by sending an oversized X-Forwarded-For header when the follow_x_forwarded_for
    feature is configured. This issue poses a threat to the stability and availability of the Squid service.

    CVE-2024-25617:
    A flaw was found in Squid. This issue may allow a remote client or remote server to trigger a denial of
    service when sending oversized headers in HTTP messages.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.
