It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-589 advisory.

    The iconv() function in the GNU C Library versions 2.39 and older may overflow the output buffer passed to     it by up to 4 bytes when converting strings to the ISO-2022-CN-EXT character set, which may be used to     crash an application or overwrite a neighbouring variable. (CVE-2024-2961)

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.
