The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:2830 advisory.

    Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a remote display system which allows users to view a computing desktop     environment not only on the machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and from a wide     variety of machine architectures. TigerVNC is a suite of VNC servers and clients.

    Security Fix(es):

    * xorg-x11-server: XkbGetKbdByName use-after-free (CVE-2022-4283)

    * xorg-x11-server: XTestSwapFakeInput stack overflow (CVE-2022-46340)

    * xorg-x11-server: XIPassiveUngrab out-of-bounds access (CVE-2022-46341)

    * xorg-x11-server: XvdiSelectVideoNotify use-after-free (CVE-2022-46342)

    * xorg-x11-server: ScreenSaverSetAttributes use-after-free (CVE-2022-46343)

    * xorg-x11-server: XIChangeProperty out-of-bounds access (CVE-2022-46344)

The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2023:2830 advisory.

  - A vulnerability was found in X.Org. This security flaw occurs because the XkbCopyNames function left a     dangling pointer to freed memory, resulting in out-of-bounds memory access on subsequent XkbGetKbdByName     requests.. This issue can lead to local privileges elevation on systems where the X server is running     privileged and remote code execution for ssh X forwarding sessions. (CVE-2022-4283)

  - A vulnerability was found in X.Org. This security flaw occurs becuase the swap handler for the     XTestFakeInput request of the XTest extension may corrupt the stack if GenericEvents with lengths larger     than 32 bytes are sent through a the XTestFakeInput request. This issue can lead to local privileges     elevation on systems where the X server is running privileged and remote code execution for ssh X     forwarding sessions. This issue does not affect systems where client and server use the same byte order.
    (CVE-2022-46340)

  - A vulnerability was found in X.Org. This security flaw occurs because the handler for the XIPassiveUngrab     request accesses out-of-bounds memory when invoked with a high keycode or button code. This issue can lead     to local privileges elevation on systems where the X server is running privileged and remote code     execution for ssh X forwarding sessions. (CVE-2022-46341)

  - A vulnerability was found in X.Org. This security flaw occurs because the handler for the     XvdiSelectVideoNotify request may write to memory after it has been freed. This issue can lead to local     privileges elevation on systems where the X se (CVE-2022-46342)

  - A vulnerability was found in X.Org. This security flaw occurs because the handler for the     ScreenSaverSetAttributes request may write to memory after it has been freed. This issue can lead to local     privileges elevation on systems where the X server is running privileged and remote code execution for ssh     X forwarding sessions. (CVE-2022-46343)

  - A vulnerability was found in X.Org. This security flaw occurs because the handler for the XIChangeProperty     request has a length-validation issues, resulting in out-of-bounds memory reads and potential information     disclosure. This issue can lead to local privileges elevation on systems where the X server is running     privileged and remote code execution for ssh X forwarding sessions. (CVE-2022-46344)

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