The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has gettext packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

  • An issue was discovered in GNU gettext 0.19.8. There is a double free in default_add_message in read- catalog.c, related to an invalid free in po_gram_parse in po-gram-gen.y, as demonstrated by lt-msgfmt.
    (CVE-2018-18751)

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