According to the versions of the less package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - In GNU Less before 609, crafted data can result in 'less -R' not filtering ANSI escape sequences sent to     the terminal. (CVE-2022-46663)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0610 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2022-48624:
    close_altfile in filename.c in less before 606 omits shell_quote calls for LESSCLOSE.

    CVE-2022-46663:
    In GNU Less before 609, crafted data can result in less -R not filtering ANSI escape sequences sent to     the terminal.

    CVE-2024-32487:
    less through 653 allows OS command execution via a newline character in the name of a file, because     quoting is mishandled in filename.c. Exploitation typically requires use with attacker-controlled file     names, such as the files extracted from an untrusted archive. Exploitation also requires the LESSOPEN     environment variable, but this is set by default in many common cases.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

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

The Rocky Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CIQ crlsa-2023_3725 advisory.
