The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:4267 advisory.
FontForge is a font editor for outline and bitmap fonts. It supports a range of font formats, including PostScript (ASCII and binary Type 1, some Type 3 and Type 0), TrueType, OpenType (Type2) and CID-keyed fonts.
Security Fix(es):
* fontforge: command injection via crafted filenames (CVE-2024-25081)
* fontforge: command injection via crafted archives or compressed files (CVE-2024-25082)
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.
