The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 6.5.6.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-6.5.6.5 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)

  - nscd: Stack-based buffer overflow in netgroup cache If the Name Service Cache Daemon's (nscd) fixed size     cache is exhausted by client requests then a subsequent client request for netgroup data may result in a     stack-based buffer overflow. This flaw was introduced in glibc 2.15 when the cache was added to nscd. This     vulnerability is only present in the nscd binary. (CVE-2024-33599)

  - nscd: Null pointer crashes after notfound response If the Name Service Cache Daemon's (nscd) cache fails     to add a not-found netgroup response to the cache, the client request can result in a null pointer     dereference. This flaw was introduced in glibc 2.15 when the cache was added to nscd. This vulnerability     is only present in the nscd binary. (CVE-2024-33600)

  - nscd: netgroup cache may terminate daemon on memory allocation failure The Name Service Cache Daemon's     (nscd) netgroup cache uses xmalloc or xrealloc and these functions may terminate the process due to a     memory allocation failure resulting in a denial of service to the clients. The flaw was introduced in     glibc 2.15 when the cache was added to nscd. This vulnerability is only present in the nscd binary.
    (CVE-2024-33601)

  - nscd: netgroup cache assumes NSS callback uses in-buffer strings The Name Service Cache Daemon's (nscd)     netgroup cache can corrupt memory when the NSS callback does not store all strings in the provided buffer.
    The flaw was introduced in glibc 2.15 when the cache was added to nscd. This vulnerability is only present     in the nscd binary. (CVE-2024-33602)

  - Denial of Service via incomplete cleanup vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. It was possible for WebSocket     clients to keep WebSocket connections open leading to increased resource consumption.This issue affects     Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.0-M16, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.18, from 9.0.0-M1 through     9.0.85, from 8.5.0 through 8.5.98. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.0-M17, 10.1.19, 9.0.86     or 8.5.99 which fix the issue. (CVE-2024-23672)

  - Denial of Service due to improper input validation vulnerability for HTTP/2 requests in Apache Tomcat.
    When processing an HTTP/2 request, if the request exceeded any of the configured limits for headers, the     associated HTTP/2 stream was not reset until after all of the headers had been processed.This issue     affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.0-M16, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.18, from 9.0.0-M1     through 9.0.85, from 8.5.0 through 8.5.98. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.0-M17,     10.1.19, 9.0.86 or 8.5.99 which fix the issue. (CVE-2024-24549)

  - The DNS message parsing code in `named` includes a section whose computational complexity is overly high.
    It does not cause problems for typical DNS traffic, but crafted queries and responses may cause excessive     CPU load on the affected `named` instance by exploiting this flaw. This issue affects both authoritative     servers and recursive resolvers. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.0.0 through 9.16.45, 9.18.0 through     9.18.21, 9.19.0 through 9.19.19, 9.9.3-S1 through 9.11.37-S1, 9.16.8-S1 through 9.16.45-S1, and 9.18.11-S1     through 9.18.21-S1. (CVE-2023-4408)

  - Certain DNSSEC aspects of the DNS protocol (in RFC 4033, 4034, 4035, 6840, and related RFCs) allow remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via one or more DNSSEC responses, aka the     KeyTrap issue. One of the concerns is that, when there is a zone with many DNSKEY and RRSIG records, the     protocol specification implies that an algorithm must evaluate all combinations of DNSKEY and RRSIG     records. (CVE-2023-50387)

  - The Closest Encloser Proof aspect of the DNS protocol (in RFC 5155 when RFC 9276 guidance is skipped)     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption for SHA-1 computations) via DNSSEC     responses in a random subdomain attack, aka the NSEC3 issue. The RFC 5155 specification implies that an     algorithm must perform thousands of iterations of a hash function in certain situations. (CVE-2023-50868)

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