The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202403-01 (Tox: Remote Code Execution)

  • A stack-based buffer overflow in handle_request function in DHT.c in toxcore 0.1.9 through 0.1.11 and 0.2.0 through 0.2.12 (caused by an improper length calculation during the handling of received network packets) allows remote attackers to crash the process or potentially execute arbitrary code via a network packet. (CVE-2021-44847)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
