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

  - A heap-based buffer over-read vulnerability was found in the X.org server's ProcXIGetSelectedEvents()     function. This issue occurs when byte-swapped length values are used in replies, potentially leading to     memory leakage and segmentation faults, particularly when triggered by a client with a different     endianness. This vulnerability could be exploited by an attacker to cause the X server to read heap memory     values and then transmit them back to the client until encountering an unmapped page, resulting in a     crash. Despite the attacker's inability to control the specific memory copied into the replies, the small     length values typically stored in a 32-bit integer can result in significant attempted out-of-bounds     reads. (CVE-2024-31080)

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

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:1260-1 advisory.

(CVE-2024-31082)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the ProcRenderAddGlyphs() function of Xorg servers. This issue     occurs when AllocateGlyph() is called to store new glyphs sent by the client to the X server, potentially     resulting in multiple entries pointing to the same non-refcounted glyphs. Consequently,     ProcRenderAddGlyphs() may free a glyph, leading to a use-after-free scenario when the same glyph pointer     is subsequently accessed. This flaw allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the     system by sending a specially crafted request. (CVE-2024-31083)

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

    The ProcRenderAddGlyphs() function calls the AllocateGlyph() function to store new glyphs sent by the     client to the X server.  AllocateGlyph() would return a new glyph with refcount=0 and a re-used glyph     would end up not changing the refcount at all. The resulting glyph_new array would thus have multiple     entries pointing to the same non-refcounted glyphs.

    ProcRenderAddGlyphs() may free a glyph, resulting in a use-after-free when the same glyph pointer is then     later used. (CVE-2024-31083)
