Uncontrolled search path in some Libva software maintained by Intel(R) before version 2.20.0 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0930 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2023-39929:
    Uncontrolled search path in some Libva software maintained by Intel(R) before version 2.20.0 may allow an     authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

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

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