An update of the crash package has been released.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - binutils: heap-based buffer overflow in finish_stab in stabs.c (CVE-2018-12699)

  - The srec_scan function in bfd/srec.c in libdbfd in GNU binutils before 2.25 allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a small S-record. (CVE-2014-8484)

  - The setup_group function in bfd/elf.c in libbfd in GNU binutils 2.24 and earlier allows remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted section group headers     in an ELF file. (CVE-2014-8485)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.
