critical Nessus Plugin ID 177842

Synopsis

An instance of Tenable NNM installed on the remote system is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the Nessus Network Monitor running on the remote host is prior to 6.2.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TNS-2023-23 advisory. Several of the third-party components were found to contain vulnerabilities, and updated versions have been made available by the providers.

- c-ares from version 1.10.0 to version 1.19.1.
- curl from version 7.79.1 to version 8.1.2.
