The remote Oracle Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2023-7764 advisory.

  • Extremely large RSA keys in certificate chains can cause a client/server to expend significant CPU time verifying signatures. With fix, the size of RSA keys transmitted during handshakes is restricted to <= 8192 bits. Based on a survey of publicly trusted RSA keys, there are currently only three certificates in circulation with keys larger than this, and all three appear to be test certificates that are not actively deployed. It is possible there are larger keys in use in private PKIs, but we target the web PKI, so causing breakage here in the interests of increasing the default safety of users of crypto/tls seems reasonable. (CVE-2023-29409)

  • 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)

  • QUIC connections do not set an upper bound on the amount of data buffered when reading post-handshake messages, allowing a malicious QUIC connection to cause unbounded memory growth. With fix, connections now consistently reject messages larger than 65KiB in size. (CVE-2023-39322)

  • The html/template package does not apply the proper rules for handling occurrences of <script,

    consistently reject messages larger than 65KiB in size. (CVE-2023-39322)

  - 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)

  - Processing an incomplete post-handshake message for a QUIC connection can cause a panic. (CVE-2023-39321)
