"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0913 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2024-9143:
    Issue summary: Use of the low-level GF(2^m) elliptic curve APIs with untrusted explicit values for the
    field polynomial can lead to out-of-bounds memory reads or writes. Impact summary: Out of bound memory
    writes can lead to an application crash or even a possibility of a remote code execution, however, in all
    the protocols involving Elliptic Curve Cryptography that we're aware of, either only named curves are
    supported, or, if explicit curve parameters are supported, they specify an X9.62 encoding of binary
    (GF(2^m)) curves that can't represent problematic input values. Thus the likelihood of existence of a
    vulnerable application is low. In particular, the X9.62 encoding is used for ECC keys in X.509
    certificates, so problematic inputs cannot occur in the context of processing X.509 certificates. Any
    problematic use-cases would have to be using an exotic curve encoding. The affected APIs include:
    EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m(), EC_GROUP_new_from_params(), and various supporting BN_GF2m_*() functions.
    Applications working with exotic explicit binary (GF(2^m)) curve parameters, that make it possible to
    represent invalid field polynomials with a zero constant term, via the above or similar APIs, may
    terminate abruptly as a result of reading or writing outside of array bounds. Remote code execution cannot
    easily be ruled out. The FIPS modules in 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue.

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
