The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:0418 advisory.

Avahi is an implementation of the DNS Service Discovery and Multicast DNS specifications for Zero     Configuration Networking. It facilitates service discovery on a local network. Avahi and Avahi-aware     applications allow you to plug your computer into a network and, with no configuration, view other people     to chat with, view printers to print with, and find shared files on other computers.

Security Fix(es):

* avahi: Local DoS by event-busy-loop from writing long lines to /run/avahi-daemon/socket (CVE-2021-3468)

* avahi: Reachable assertion in avahi_dns_packet_append_record (CVE-2023-38469)

* avahi: Reachable assertion in avahi_escape_label (CVE-2023-38470)

* avahi: Reachable assertion in dbus_set_host_name (CVE-2023-38471)

* avahi: Reachable assertion in avahi_rdata_parse (CVE-2023-38472)

* avahi: Reachable assertion in avahi_alternative_host_name (CVE-2023-38473)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise 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.
