It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2022-2022-130 advisory.

    A stack based buffer-overflow vulnerability was found in the deprecated compatibility function     clnt_create() in the sunrpc's clnt_gen.c module of the GNU C Library (aka glibc) through 2.34. This     vulnerability copies its hostname argument onto the stack without validating its length, which may result     in a buffer overflow, potentially resulting in a denial of service or (if an application is not built with     a stack protector enabled) lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2022-23219)

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

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