"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1778109988 advisory.
- Acceptance of some invalid Transfer-Encoding headers in the HTTP/1 client in net/http before Go 1.17.12
and Go 1.18.4 allows HTTP request smuggling if combined with an intermediate server that also improperly
fails to reject the header as invalid. (CVE-2022-1705)
- An attacker can cause excessive memory growth in a Go server accepting HTTP/2 requests. HTTP/2 server
connections contain a cache of HTTP header keys sent by the client. While the total number of entries in
this cache is capped, an attacker sending very large keys can cause the server to allocate approximately
64 MiB per open connection. (CVE-2022-41717)
- The HTTP/1 client does not fully validate the contents of the Host header. A maliciously crafted Host
header can inject additional headers or entire requests. With fix, the HTTP/1 client now refuses to send
requests containing an invalid Request.Host or Request.URL.Host value. (CVE-2023-29406)
- The html/template package does not properly handle HTML-like comment tokens, nor hashbang #! comment
tokens, in <script> contexts. This may cause the template parser to improperly interpret the contents of
<script> contexts, causing actions to be improperly escaped. This may be leveraged to perform an XSS
attack. (CVE-2023-39318)
- The html/template package does not apply the proper rules for handling occurrences of <script, <!--,
and </script within JS literals in <script> contexts. This may cause the template parser to improperly
consider script contexts to be terminated early, causing actions to be improperly escaped. This could be
leveraged to perform an XSS attack. (CVE-2023-39319)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
