A vulnerability was found in fapolicyd. The vulnerability occurs due to an assumption on how glibc names the runtime linker, a build time regular expression may not correctly detect the runtime linker. The consequence is that the pattern detection for applications launched by the run time linker may fail to detect the pattern and allow execution.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has fapolicyd packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

  - A vulnerability was found in fapolicyd. The vulnerability occurs due to an assumption on how glibc names     the runtime linker, a build time regular expression may not correctly detect the runtime linker. The     consequence is that the pattern detection for applications launched by the run time linker may fail to     detect the pattern and allow execution. (CVE-2022-1117)

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