The version of libvirt installed on the remote host is prior to 4.5.0-36. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2513 advisory.

    An off-by-one error flaw was found in the udevListInterfacesByStatus() function in libvirt when the number     of interfaces exceeds the size of the `names` array. This issue can be reproduced by sending specially     crafted data to the libvirt daemon, allowing an unprivileged client to perform a denial of service attack     by causing the libvirt daemon to crash. (CVE-2024-1441)

    A flaw was found in the RPC library APIs of libvirt. The RPC server deserialization code allocates memory     for arrays before the non-negative length check is performed by the C API entry points. Passing a negative     length to the g_new0 function results in a crash due to the negative length being treated as a huge     positive number. This flaw allows a local, unprivileged user to perform a denial of service attack by     causing the libvirt daemon to crash. (CVE-2024-2494)

    NULL pointer dereference in udevConnectListAllInterfaces() (CVE-2024-2496)

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

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