The remote Oracle Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2024-2973 advisory.

[1.6.8-8]
- Backport fix for Xlib lockups due to recursive XError (RHEL-23452)

[1.6.8-7]
- Fix CVE-2023-43785: out-of-bounds memory access in _XkbReadKeySyms()
- Fix CVE-2023-43786: stack exhaustion from infinite recursion in       PutSubImage()
- Fix CVE-2023-43787: integer overflow in XCreateImage() leading to       a heap overflow

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

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