mgetty prior to 1.2.1 is affected by: out-of-bounds read. The impact is: DoS, the program may crash if the memory is not mapped. The component is: putwhitespan() in g3/pbm2g3.c. The attack vector is: Local, the victim must open a specially crafted file. The fixed version is: 1.2.1.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - mgetty: command injection in faxrunq (CVE-2018-16741)

  - mgetty: Stack-based buffer overflow in fax_notify_mail() in faxrec.c (CVE-2018-16745)

  - An issue was discovered in mgetty before 1.2.1. In fax_notify_mail() in faxrec.c, the mail_to parameter is     not sanitized. It could allow for command injection if untrusted input can reach it, because popen is     used. (CVE-2018-16744)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.
