The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3669-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Liblouis incorrectly handled certain files. An attacker could possibly use this to     cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2018-11410)

    It was discovered that Liblouis incorrectly handled certain files. An attacker could possibly use this to     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-11440)

    It was discovered that Liblouis incorrectly handled certain files. An attacker could possibly use this to     cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-11577)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

According to the versions of the liblouis packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Liblouis 3.5.0 has a stack-based Buffer Overflow in the     function parseChars in     compileTranslationTable.c.(CVE-2018-11440)

  - Liblouis 3.5.0 has a stack-based Buffer Overflow in the     function parseChars in compileTranslationTable.c, a     different vulnerability than     CVE-2018-11440.(CVE-2018-11683)

  - Liblouis 3.5.0 has a stack-based Buffer Overflow in the     function includeFile in     compileTranslationTable.c.(CVE-2018-11684)

  - Liblouis 3.5.0 has a stack-based Buffer Overflow in the     function compileHyphenation in     compileTranslationTable.c.(CVE-2018-11685)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 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.

  - liblouis: invalid free in compileRule function in compileTranslationTable.c (CVE-2018-11410)

  - Liblouis 3.5.0 has a stack-based Buffer Overflow in the function parseChars in compileTranslationTable.c.
    (CVE-2018-11440)

  - The matchCurrentInput function inside lou_translateString.c of Liblouis prior to 3.7 does not check the     input string's length, allowing attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash via out-of-     bounds read) by crafting an input file with certain translation dictionaries. (CVE-2018-17294)

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