do_core_note in readelf.c in libmagic.a in file 5.35 has a stack-based buffer over-read, related to file_printable, a different vulnerability than CVE-2018-10360.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 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.

  - file: out-of-bounds read in do_core_note in readelf.c (CVE-2019-8906)

  - do_core_note in readelf.c in libmagic.a in file 5.35 has a stack-based buffer over-read, related to     file_printable, a different vulnerability than CVE-2018-10360. (CVE-2019-8905)

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.

According to the versions of the file packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - do_core_note in readelf.c in libmagic.a in file 5.35     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (stack corruption and application crash) or possibly     have unspecified other impact.(CVE-2019-8907)
