"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2025:0108 advisory.
Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:
CVE-2024-1488:
A vulnerability was found in Unbound due to incorrect default permissions, allowing any process outside
the unbound group to modify the unbound runtime configuration. If a process can connect over localhost to
port 8953, it can alter the configuration of unbound.service. This flaw allows an unprivileged attacker to
manipulate a running instance, potentially altering forwarders, allowing them to track all queries
forwarded by the local resolver, and, in some cases, disrupting resolving altogether.
CVE-2024-8508:
NLnet Labs Unbound up to and including version 1.21.0 contains a vulnerability when handling replies with
very large RRsets that it needs to perform name compression for. Malicious upstreams responses with very
large RRsets can cause Unbound to spend a considerable time applying name compression to downstream
replies. This can lead to degraded performance and eventually denial of service in well orchestrated
attacks. The vulnerability can be exploited by a malicious actor querying Unbound for the specially
crafted contents of a malicious zone with very large RRsets. Before Unbound replies to the query it will
try to apply name compression which was an unbounded operation that could lock the CPU until the whole
packet was complete. Unbound version 1.21.1 introduces a hard limit on the number of name compression
calculations it is willing to do per packet. Packets that need more compression will result in semi-
compressed packets or truncated packets, even on TCP for huge messages, to avoid locking the CPU for long.
This change should not affect normal DNS traffic.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
