The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - A flaw was found in the c-ares package. The ares_set_sortlist is missing checks about the validity of the     input string, which allows a possible arbitrary length stack overflow. This issue may cause a denial of     service or a limited impact on confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2022-4904)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The version of c-ares installed on the remote host is prior to 1.10.0-3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2399 advisory.

    A flaw was found in c-ares library, where a missing input validation check of host names returned by DNS     (Domain Name Servers) can lead to output of wrong hostnames which might potentially lead to Domain     Hijacking. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity as well as     system availability. (CVE-2021-3672)

    A flaw was found in the c-ares package. The ares_set_sortlist is missing checks about the validity of the     input string, which allows a possible arbitrary length stack overflow. This issue may cause a denial of     service or a limited impact on confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2022-4904)

    ares_inet_net_pton() is vulnerable to a buffer underflow for certain ipv6 addresses, in particular     0::00:00:00/2 was found to cause an issue. C-ares only uses this function internally for configuration     purposes which would require an administrator to configure such an address via ares_set_sortlist().

    However, users may externally use ares_inet_net_pton() for other purposes and thus be vulnerable to more     severe issues. (CVE-2023-31130)

The remote Rocky Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2023:2655 advisory.

  - This affects versions of the package http-cache-semantics before 4.1.1. The issue can be exploited via     malicious request header values sent to a server, when that server reads the cache policy from the request     using this library. (CVE-2022-25881)

  - A flaw was found in the c-ares package. The ares_set_sortlist is missing checks about the validity of the     input string, which allows a possible arbitrary length stack overflow. This issue may cause a denial of     service or a limited impact on confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2022-4904)

  - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Node.js <19.6.1, <18.14.1, <16.19.1 and <14.21.3 that made     it possible to bypass the experimental Permissions (https://nodejs.org/api/permissions.html) feature in     Node.js and access non authorized modules by using process.mainModule.require(). This only affects users     who had enabled the experimental permissions option with --experimental-policy. (CVE-2023-23918)

  - An untrusted search path vulnerability exists in Node.js. <19.6.1, <18.14.1, <16.19.1, and <14.21.3 that     could allow an attacker to search and potentially load ICU data when running with elevated privileges.
    (CVE-2023-23920)

  - Undici is an HTTP/1.1 client for Node.js. Starting with version 2.0.0 and prior to version 5.19.1, the     undici library does not protect `host` HTTP header from CRLF injection vulnerabilities. This issue is     patched in Undici v5.19.1. As a workaround, sanitize the `headers.host` string before passing to undici.
    (CVE-2023-23936)

  - Undici is an HTTP/1.1 client for Node.js. Prior to version 5.19.1, the `Headers.set()` and     `Headers.append()` methods are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attacks when     untrusted values are passed into the functions. This is due to the inefficient regular expression used to     normalize the values in the `headerValueNormalize()` utility function. This vulnerability was patched in     v5.19.1. No known workarounds are available. (CVE-2023-24807)

This Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address critical security updates :

The version of Dell Wyse Management Suite installed on the remote host is prior to 5.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the DSA-2025-135 advisory.

  - Dell Wyse Management Suite, versions prior to WMS 5.1, contains an Exposure of Sensitive Information     Through Data Queries vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially     exploit this vulnerability, leading to Information disclosure. (CVE-2025-29981)

  - Dell Wyse Management Suite, versions prior to WMS 5.1, contains an Insecure Inherited Permissions     vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability,     leading to Unauthorized access. (CVE-2025-29982)

  - Dell Wyse Management Suite, versions prior to WMS 5.1, contains an Insufficient Resource Pool     vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability,     leading to Denial of service. (CVE-2025-27694)
