Incorrect handling of input data in verifyAttribute function in the libmysofa library 0.5 - 1.1 will lead to NULL pointer dereference and segmentation fault error in case of restrictive memory protection or near NULL pointer overwrite in case of no memory restrictions (e.g. in embedded environments).

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Incorrect handling of input data in verifyAttribute function in the libmysofa library 0.5 - 1.1 will lead     to NULL pointer dereference and segmentation fault error in case of restrictive memory protection or near     NULL pointer overwrite in case of no memory restrictions (e.g. in embedded environments). (CVE-2020-36148)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
