"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-2024:1081 advisory.

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

    CVE-2024-31141:
    Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties, Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in Apache
    Kafka Clients.

    Apache Kafka Clients accept configuration data for customizing behavior, and includes ConfigProvider
    plugins in order to manipulate these configurations. Apache Kafka also provides FileConfigProvider,
    DirectoryConfigProvider, and EnvVarConfigProvider implementations which include the ability to read from
    disk or environment variables.
    In applications where Apache Kafka Clients configurations can be specified by an untrusted party,
    attackers may use these ConfigProviders to read arbitrary contents of the disk and environment variables.

    In particular, this flaw may be used in Apache Kafka Connect to escalate from REST API access to
    filesystem/environment access, which may be undesirable in certain environments, including SaaS products.
    This issue affects Apache Kafka Clients: from 2.3.0 through 3.5.2, 3.6.2, 3.7.0.


    Users with affected applications are recommended to upgrade kafka-clients to version >=3.8.0, and set the
    JVM system property org.apache.kafka.automatic.config.providers=none.
    Users of Kafka Connect with one of the listed ConfigProvider implementations specified in their worker
    config are also recommended to add appropriate allowlist.pattern and allowed.paths to restrict their
    operation to appropriate bounds.


    For users of Kafka Clients or Kafka Connect in environments that trust users with disk and environment
    variable access, it is not recommended to set the system property.
    For users of the Kafka Broker, Kafka MirrorMaker 2.0, Kafka Streams, and Kafka command-line tools, it is
    not recommended to set the system property.

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.");
