A Segmentation Fault issue discovered in in ieee_segment function in outieee.c in nasm 2.14.03 and 2.15 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted assembly file.

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

According to the versions of the nasm packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A Segmentation Fault issue discovered in in ieee_segment function in outieee.c in nasm 2.14.03 and 2.15     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted assembly file. (CVE-2020-21528)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202312-09 (NASM: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  - In Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14.02, there is a use-after-free in paste_tokens in asm/preproc.c.
    (CVE-2019-8343)

  - A Segmentation Fault issue discovered in in ieee_segment function in outieee.c in nasm 2.14.03 and 2.15     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted assembly file. (CVE-2020-21528)

  - NASM v2.16 was discovered to contain a heap buffer overflow in the component quote_for_pmake()     asm/nasm.c:856 (CVE-2022-44370)

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

The version of nasm installed on the remote host is prior to 2.15.03-3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2277 advisory.

  - A Use After Free vulnerability in function new_Token in asm/preproc.c in nasm 2.14.02 allows attackers to     cause a denial of service via crafted nasm command. (CVE-2020-18780)

  - A Segmentation Fault issue discovered in in ieee_segment function in outieee.c in nasm 2.14.03 and 2.15     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted assembly file. (CVE-2020-21528)

  - NASM v2.16 was discovered to contain a segmentation violation in the component ieee_write_file at     /output/outieee.c. (CVE-2022-46457)

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

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-354 advisory.

  - A Segmentation Fault issue discovered in in ieee_segment function in outieee.c in nasm 2.14.03 and 2.15     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted assembly file. (CVE-2020-21528)

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