In pkgconf through 1.9.3, variable duplication can cause unbounded string expansion due to incorrect checks in libpkgconf/tuple.c:pkgconf_tuple_parse. For example, a .pc file containing a few hundred bytes can expand to one billion bytes.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability that has been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - pkgconf: unbounded string expansion due to incorrect checks may result in buffer overflow (CVE-2023-24056)

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability that has been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - pkgconf: unbounded string expansion due to incorrect checks may result in buffer overflow (CVE-2023-24056)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue 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 pkgconf packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - In pkgconf through 1.9.3, variable duplication can cause unbounded string expansion due to incorrect     checks in libpkgconf/tuple.c:pkgconf_tuple_parse. For example, a .pc file containing a few hundred bytes     can expand to one billion bytes. (CVE-2023-24056)

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.
