    Claudio Bozzato discovered multiple security issues in gtkwave, a file     waveform viewer for VCD (Value Change Dump) files, which may result in the     execution of arbitrary code if malformed files are opened.

    For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed     in version 3.3.104+really3.3.118-0+deb11u1.

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in     version 3.3.118-0.1~deb12u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your gtkwave packages.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian 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 Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Multiple out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities exist in the VCD parse_valuechange portdump functionality of     GTKWave 3.3.115. A specially crafted .vcd file can lead to arbitrary code execution. A victim would need     to open a malicious file to trigger these vulnerabilities.This vulnerability concerns the out-of-bounds     write when triggered via the GUI's legacy VCD parsing code. (CVE-2023-37416)

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