Rejected reason: DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: CVE-2024-2002. Reason: This candidate is a duplicate of CVE-2024-2002. Notes: All CVE users should reference CVE-2024-2002 instead of this candidate.

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.

  - libdwarf: division by zero in dwarf_elf_load_headers.c leading to DoS (CVE-2019-14249)

  - libdwarf: NULL pointer dereference due to corrupt line table header (CVE-2020-28163)

  - libdwarf before 20201017 has a one-byte out-of-bounds read because of an invalid pointer dereference via     an invalid line table in a crafted object. (CVE-2020-27545)

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.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-579 advisory.

    2024-10-24: CVE-2024-31745 was added to this advisory.

    In a multiply-corrupted DWARF object libdwarf may try to dealloc(free) an allocation twice.Results are     unpredictable and various. This has been a possibility since we added code to prevent leaks when     generating 'unattached' Dwarf_Error records (where there is no Dwarf_Debug available at the point of     error).The problem was introduced in libdwarf-0.1.0 in 2021. (CVE-2024-2002)

    Libdwarf v0.9.1 was discovered to contain a heap use-after-free via the dw_empty_errlist_item function at     /libdwarf/dwarf_alloc.c. (CVE-2024-31745)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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