The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:0558 advisory.
Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a remote display system which allows users to view a computing desktop environment not only on the machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of machine architectures. TigerVNC is a suite of VNC servers and clients.
Security Fix(es):
* xorg-x11-server: Heap buffer overflow in DeviceFocusEvent and ProcXIQueryPointer (CVE-2023-6816)
* xorg-x11-server: reattaching to different master device may lead to out-of-bounds memory access (CVE-2024-0229)
* xorg-x11-server: heap buffer overflow in XISendDeviceHierarchyEvent (CVE-2024-21885)
* xorg-x11-server: heap buffer overflow in DisableDevice (CVE-2024-21886)
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.
