"The version of fribidi installed on the remote host is prior to 1.0.2-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability
as referenced in the ALAS2-2020-1434 advisory.

    A buffer overflow in the fribidi_get_par_embedding_levels_ex() function in lib/fribidi-bidi.c of GNU
    FriBidi through 1.0.7 allows an attacker to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code
    by delivering crafted text content to a user, when this content is then rendered by an application that
    uses FriBidi for text layout calculations. Examples include any GNOME or GTK+ based application that uses
    Pango for text layout, as this internally uses FriBidi for bidirectional text layout. For example, the
    attacker can construct a crafted text file to be opened in GEdit, or a crafted IRC message to be viewed in
    HexChat. (CVE-2019-18397)



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

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
