Synopsis

The remote AlmaLinux host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALSA-2021:4743 advisory.

 * Developer environment: Unicode's bidirectional (BiDi) override characters can cause trojan source attacks (CVE-2021-42574)

 The following changes were introduced in clang in order to facilitate detection of BiDi Unicode characters:

 clang-tidy now finds identifiers that contain Unicode characters with right-to-left direction, which can be confusing as they may change the understanding of a whole statement.

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

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