The version of nasm installed on the remote host is prior to 2.15.03-3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2277 advisory.

  • A Use After Free vulnerability in function new_Token in asm/preproc.c in nasm 2.14.02 allows attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted nasm command. (CVE-2020-18780)

  • A Segmentation Fault issue discovered in in ieee_segment function in outieee.c in nasm 2.14.03 and 2.15 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted assembly file. (CVE-2020-21528)

  • NASM v2.16 was discovered to contain a segmentation violation in the component ieee_write_file at /output/outieee.c. (CVE-2022-46457)

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