The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:3247 advisory.

    Git is a distributed revision control system with a decentralized architecture. As opposed to centralized     version control systems with a client-server model, Git ensures that each working copy of a Git repository     is an exact copy with complete revision history. This not only allows the user to work on and contribute     to projects without the need to have permission to push the changes to their official repositories, but     also makes it possible for the user to work with no network connection.

    Security Fix(es):

    * git: by feeding specially crafted input to `git apply --reject`, a path outside the working tree can be     overwritten with partially controlled contents (CVE-2023-25652)

    * git: arbitrary configuration injection when renaming or deleting a section from a configuration file     (CVE-2023-29007)

    * git: malicious placement of crafted messages when git was compiled with runtime prefix (CVE-2023-25815)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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