The version of cri-tools installed on the remote host is prior to 1.26.1-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2194 advisory.

  • A maliciously crafted HTTP/2 stream could cause excessive CPU consumption in the HPACK decoder, sufficient to cause a denial of service from a small number of small requests. (CVE-2022-41723)

  • 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)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
