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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 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.

  - binutils: Heap-buffer-overflow binutils-gdb/bfd/libbfd.c in bfd_getl64 (CVE-2023-1579)

  - An issue was discovered in GNU libiberty, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.36. It is a stack-overflow     issue in demangle_type in rust-demangle.c. (CVE-2021-32256)

  - Heap buffer overflow vulnerability in binutils readelf before 2.40 via function find_section_in_set in     file readelf.c. (CVE-2022-44840)

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

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

  - GNU gdb (GDB) 13.0.50.20220805-git was discovered to contain a heap buffer overflow via the function     pe_as16() at /gdb/coff-pe-read.c. (CVE-2023-39130)

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.
