The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2023:1576 advisory.

  - A vulnerability was found in PostgreSQL. This attack requires permission to create non-temporary objects     in at least one schema, the ability to lure or wait for an administrator to create or update an affected     extension in that schema, and the ability to lure or wait for a victim to use the object targeted in     CREATE OR REPLACE or CREATE IF NOT EXISTS. Given all three prerequisites, this flaw allows an attacker to     run arbitrary code as the victim role, which may be a superuser. (CVE-2022-2625)

  - In PostgreSQL, a modified, unauthenticated server can send an unterminated string during the establishment     of Kerberos transport encryption. In certain conditions a server can cause a libpq client to over-read and     report an error message containing uninitialized bytes. (CVE-2022-41862)

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