The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has libX11 packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

  • An integer overflow vulnerability leading to a double-free was found in libX11. This flaw allows a local privileged attacker to cause an application compiled with libX11 to crash, or in some cases, result in arbitrary code execution. The highest threat from this flaw is to confidentiality, integrity as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-14363)

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