corosync before version 2.4.4 is vulnerable to an integer overflow in exec/totemcrypto.c.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202107-01 (corosync: Denial of service)

    It was discovered that corosync allowed an unauthenticated user to cause       a Denial of Service by application crash.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could send a malicious crafted packet, possibly       resulting in a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has corosync packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

  - An integer overflow leading to an out-of-bound read was     found in authenticate_nss_2_3() in Corosync. An attacker     could craft a malicious packet that would lead to a     denial of service. (CVE-2018-1084)

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

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-4000-1 advisory.
