The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 4.06, has libX11 packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

  - An integer overflow vulnerability leading to a double-free was found in libX11. This flaw allows a local     privileged attacker to cause an application compiled with libX11 to crash, or in some cases, result in     arbitrary code execution. The highest threat from this flaw is to confidentiality, integrity as well as     system availability. (CVE-2020-14363)

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

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2022:0087 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2020-14344:
    An integer overflow leading to a heap-buffer overflow was found in The X Input Method (XIM) client was     implemented in libX11 before version 1.6.10. As per upstream this is security relevant when setuid     programs call XIM client functions while running with elevated privileges. No such programs are shipped     with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

    CVE-2020-14345:
    A flaw was found in X.Org Server before xorg-x11-server 1.20.9. An Out-Of-Bounds access in XkbSetNames     function may lead to a privilege escalation vulnerability. The highest threat from this vulnerability is     to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

    CVE-2020-14346:
    A flaw was found in xorg-x11-server before 1.20.9. An integer underflow in the X input extension protocol     decoding in the X server may lead to arbitrary access of memory contents. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

    CVE-2020-14347:
    A flaw was found in the way xserver memory was not properly initialized. This could leak parts of server     memory to the X client. In cases where Xorg server runs with elevated privileges, this could result in     possible ASLR bypass. Xorg-server before version 1.20.9 is vulnerable.

    CVE-2020-14360:
    A flaw was found in the X.Org Server before version 1.20.10. An out-of-bounds access in the XkbSetMap     function may lead to a privilege escalation vulnerability. The highest threat from this vulnerability is     to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

    CVE-2020-14361:
    A flaw was found in X.Org Server before xorg-x11-server 1.20.9. An Integer underflow leading to heap-     buffer overflow may lead to a privilege escalation vulnerability. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

    CVE-2020-14362:
    A flaw was found in X.Org Server before xorg-x11-server 1.20.9. An Integer underflow leading to heap-     buffer overflow may lead to a privilege escalation vulnerability. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

    CVE-2020-14363:
    An integer overflow vulnerability leading to a double-free was found in libX11. This flaw allows a local     privileged attacker to cause an application compiled with libX11 to crash, or in some cases, result in     arbitrary code execution. The highest threat from this flaw is to confidentiality, integrity as well as     system availability.

    CVE-2020-25712:
    A flaw was found in xorg-x11-server before 1.20.10. A heap-buffer overflow in XkbSetDeviceInfo may lead to     a privilege escalation vulnerability. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
