The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7306-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that GNU binutils in nm tool is affected by an incorrect access control. An attacker     could possibly use this issue to cause a crash. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04     LTS, and Ubuntu 24.10. (CVE-2024-57360)

    It was discovered that GNU binutils incorrectly handled certain inputs. An attacker could possibly use     this issue to cause a crash or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-0840)

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

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

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

    A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in GNU Binutils up to 2.43. This affects     the function disassemble_bytes of the file binutils/objdump.c. The manipulation of the argument buf leads     to stack-based buffer overflow. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The complexity of an     attack is rather high. The exploitability is told to be difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the     public and may be used. Upgrading to version 2.44 is able to address this issue. The identifier of the     patch is baac6c221e9d69335bf41366a1c7d87d8ab2f893. It is recommended to upgrade the affected     component.(CVE-2025-0840)

    https://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/ nm =2.43 is affected by: Incorrect Access Control. The type of     exploitation is: local. The component is: `nm --without-symbol-version` function.(CVE-2024-57360)
