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

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 5.16. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-5.16 advisory.

  - Gnome Pango 1.42 and later is affected by: Buffer Overflow. The impact is: The heap based buffer overflow     can be used to get code execution. The component is: function name: pango_log2vis_get_embedding_levels,     assignment of nchars and the loop condition. The attack vector is: Bug can be used when application pass     invalid utf-8 strings to functions like pango_itemize. (CVE-2019-1010238)

  - curl before version 7.61.1 is vulnerable to a buffer overrun in the NTLM authentication code. The internal     function Curl_ntlm_core_mk_nt_hash multiplies the length of the password by two (SUM) to figure out how     large temporary storage area to allocate from the heap. The length value is then subsequently used to     iterate over the password and generate output into the allocated storage buffer. On systems with a 32 bit     size_t, the math to calculate SUM triggers an integer overflow when the password length exceeds 2GB (2^31     bytes). This integer overflow usually causes a very small buffer to actually get allocated instead of the     intended very huge one, making the use of that buffer end up in a heap buffer overflow. (This bug is     almost identical to CVE-2017-8816.) (CVE-2018-14618)

  - An issue was discovered in XListExtensions in ListExt.c in libX11 through 1.6.5. A malicious server can     send a reply in which the first string overflows, causing a variable to be set to NULL that will be freed     later on, leading to DoS (segmentation fault). (CVE-2018-14598)

  - An issue was discovered in libX11 through 1.6.5. The function XListExtensions in ListExt.c is vulnerable     to an off-by-one error caused by malicious server responses, leading to DoS or possibly unspecified other     impact. (CVE-2018-14599)

  - An issue was discovered in libX11 through 1.6.5. The function XListExtensions in ListExt.c interprets a     variable as signed instead of unsigned, resulting in an out-of-bounds write (of up to 128 bytes), leading     to DoS or remote code execution. (CVE-2018-14600)

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

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 5.11.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-5.11.2 advisory.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4336-2 advisory.

    USN-4336-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in GNU binutils. This update provides the corresponding update     for Ubuntu 16.04 ESM.

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4336-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that GNU binutils contained a large number of security issues. If a user or automated     system were tricked into processing a specially-crafted file, a remote attacker could cause GNU binutils     to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has binutils packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - An issue was discovered in arm_pt in cplus-dem.c in GNU     libiberty, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.30. Stack     Exhaustion occurs in the C++ demangling functions     provided by libiberty, and there are recursive stack     frames: demangle_arm_hp_template, demangle_class_name,     demangle_fund_type, do_type, do_arg, demangle_args, and     demangle_nested_args. This can occur during execution of     nm-new. (CVE-2018-12641)

  - A NULL pointer dereference (aka SEGV on unknown address     0x000000000000) was discovered in     work_stuff_copy_to_from in cplus-dem.c in GNU libiberty,     as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.30. This can occur     during execution of objdump. (CVE-2018-12697)

  - binutils version 2.32 and earlier contains a Integer     Overflow vulnerability in objdump, bfd_get_dynamic_reloc
    _upper_bound,bfd_canonicalize_dynamic_reloc that can     result in Integer overflow trigger heap overflow.
    Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary     code.. This attack appear to be exploitable via Local.
    This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in after     commit 3a551c7a1b80fca579461774860574eabfd7f18f.
