Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle 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 remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202405-17 (glibc: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  - The iconv() function in the GNU C Library versions 2.39 and older may overflow the output buffer passed to     it by up to 4 bytes when converting strings to the ISO-2022-CN-EXT character set, which may be used to     crash an application or overwrite a neighbouring variable. (CVE-2024-2961)

  -  Please review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.  (CVE-2024-33599, CVE-2024-33600,     CVE-2024-33601, CVE-2024-33602)

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:2799 advisory.

    The glibc packages provide the standard C libraries (libc), POSIX thread libraries (libpthread), standard     math libraries (libm), and the name service cache daemon (nscd) used by multiple programs on the system.
    Without these libraries, the Linux system cannot function correctly.

    Security Fix(es):

    * glibc: Out of bounds write in iconv may lead to remote code execution (CVE-2024-2961)

    * glibc: stack-based buffer overflow in netgroup cache (CVE-2024-33599)

    * glibc: null pointer dereferences after failed netgroup cache insertion (CVE-2024-33600)

    * glibc: netgroup cache may terminate daemon on memory allocation failure (CVE-2024-33601)

    * glibc: netgroup cache assumes NSS callback uses in-buffer strings (CVE-2024-33602)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 6.5.6.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-6.5.6.5 advisory.

  - Certain DNSSEC aspects of the DNS protocol (in RFC 4033, 4034, 4035, 6840, and related RFCs) allow remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via one or more DNSSEC responses, aka the     KeyTrap issue. One of the concerns is that, when there is a zone with many DNSKEY and RRSIG records, the     protocol specification implies that an algorithm must evaluate all combinations of DNSKEY and RRSIG     records. (CVE-2023-50387)

  - The iconv() function in the GNU C Library versions 2.39 and older may overflow the output buffer passed to     it by up to 4 bytes when converting strings to the ISO-2022-CN-EXT character set, which may be used to     crash an application or overwrite a neighbouring variable. (CVE-2024-2961)

  - nscd: Stack-based buffer overflow in netgroup cache If the Name Service Cache Daemon's (nscd) fixed size     cache is exhausted by client requests then a subsequent client request for netgroup data may result in a     stack-based buffer overflow. This flaw was introduced in glibc 2.15 when the cache was added to nscd. This     vulnerability is only present in the nscd binary. (CVE-2024-33599)

  - nscd: Null pointer crashes after notfound response If the Name Service Cache Daemon's (nscd) cache fails     to add a not-found netgroup response to the cache, the client request can result in a null pointer     dereference. This flaw was introduced in glibc 2.15 when the cache was added to nscd. This vulnerability     is only present in the nscd binary. (CVE-2024-33600)

  - nscd: netgroup cache may terminate daemon on memory allocation failure The Name Service Cache Daemon's     (nscd) netgroup cache uses xmalloc or xrealloc and these functions may terminate the process due to a     memory allocation failure resulting in a denial of service to the clients. The flaw was introduced in     glibc 2.15 when the cache was added to nscd. This vulnerability is only present in the nscd binary.
    (CVE-2024-33601)

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 glibc installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-33601 advisory.

  - nscd: netgroup cache May terminate daemon on memory allocation failure The Name Service Cache Daemon's     (nscd) netgroup cache uses xmalloc or xrealloc and these functions May terminate the process due to a     memory allocation failure resulting in a denial of service to the clients. The flaw was introduced in     glibc 2.15 when the cache was added to nscd. This vulnerability is only present in the nscd binary.
