The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 6.10.0.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-6.10.0.5 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in libexpat before 2.6.3. nextScaffoldPart in xmlparse.c can have an integer     overflow for m_groupSize on 32-bit platforms (where UINT_MAX equals SIZE_MAX). (CVE-2024-45492)

  - A vulnerability was found in GNU Nano that allows a possible privilege escalation through an insecure     temporary file. If Nano is killed while editing, a file it saves to an emergency file with the permissions     of the running user provides a window of opportunity for attackers to escalate privileges through a     malicious symlink. (CVE-2024-5742)

  - A vulnerability was found in Performance Co-Pilot (PCP). This flaw allows an attacker to send specially     crafted data to the system, which could cause the program to misbehave or crash. (CVE-2024-45769)

  - A vulnerability was found in Performance Co-Pilot (PCP). This flaw can only be exploited if an attacker     has access to a compromised PCP system account. The issue is related to the pmpost tool, which is used to     log messages in the system. Under certain conditions, it runs with high-level privileges. (CVE-2024-45770)

  - The ipaddress module contained incorrect information about whether certain IPv4 and IPv6 addresses were     designated as globally reachable or private. This affected the is_private and is_global properties of     the ipaddress.IPv4Address, ipaddress.IPv4Network, ipaddress.IPv6Address, and ipaddress.IPv6Network     classes, where values wouldn't be returned in accordance with the latest information from the IANA     Special-Purpose Address Registries. CPython 3.12.4 and 3.13.0a6 contain updated information from these     registries and thus have the intended behavior. (CVE-2024-4032)

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