The version of haproxy2 installed on the remote host is prior to 2.2.17-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2HAPROXY2-2023-004 advisory.

  • An uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability was discovered in HAProxy which could crash the service. This issue could allow an authenticated remote attacker to run a specially crafted malicious server in an OpenShift cluster. The biggest impact is to availability. (CVE-2023-0056)

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