Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- Mesa v23.0.4 was discovered to contain a NULL pointer dereference via the function dri2GetGlxDrawableFromXDrawableId().

NOTE: this is disputed because there is no scenario in which the vulnerability was demonstrated. (CVE-2023-45913)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
