high Nessus Plugin ID 173784

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Fedora 38 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-b87fd3a628 advisory.

 - A flaw was found in X.Org Server Overlay Window. A Use-After-Free may lead to local privilege escalation.
 If a client explicitly destroys the compositor overlay window (aka COW), the Xserver would leave a dangling pointer to that window in the CompScreen structure, which will trigger a use-after-free later.
 (CVE-2023-1393)

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

Solution

Update the affected tigervnc package.
