The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has rsyslog packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

  - A denial of service vulnerability was found in rsyslog     in the imptcp module. An attacker could send a specially     crafted message to the imptcp socket, which would cause     rsyslog to crash. Versions before 8.27.0 are vulnerable.
    (CVE-2018-16881)

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

According to the versions of the rsyslog packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Rsyslog is an enhanced, multi-threaded syslog daemon.
    It supports MySQL, syslog/TCP, RFC 3195, permitted     sender lists, filtering on any message part, and fine     grain output format control. It is compatible with     stock sysklogd and can be used as a drop-in     replacement. Rsyslog is simple to set up, with advanced     features suitable for enterprise-class,     encryption-protected syslog relay chains.

  - Security fix(es):

  - A denial of service vulnerability was found in rsyslog     in the imptcp module. An attacker could send a     specially crafted message to the imptcp socket, which     would cause rsyslog to crash.(CVE-2018-16881)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
