In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFSD: Avoid calling OPDESC() with ops->opnum == OP_ILLEGAL OPDESC() simply indexes into nfsd4_ops[] by the op's operation number, without range checking that value. It assumes callers are careful to avoid calling it with an out-of-bounds opnum value. nfsd4_decode_compound() is not so careful, and can invoke OPDESC() with opnum set to OP_ILLEGAL, which is 10044 -- well beyond the end of nfsd4_ops[].

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

  - NFSD: Avoid calling OPDESC() with ops->opnum == OP_ILLEGAL OPDESC() simply indexes into nfsd4_ops[] by the     op's operation number, without range checking that value. It assumes callers are careful to avoid calling     it with an out-of-bounds opnum value. nfsd4_decode_compound() is not so careful, and can invoke OPDESC()     with opnum set to OP_ILLEGAL, which is 10044 -- well beyond the end of nfsd4_ops[]. (CVE-2023-53680)

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