The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RLSA-2023:6236 advisory.

  • An illegal memory access flaw was found in the binutils package. Parsing an ELF file containing corrupt symbol version information may result in a denial of service. This issue is the result of an incomplete fix for CVE-2020-16599. (CVE-2022-4285)

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