The version of tigervnc installed on the remote host is prior to 1.8.0-24. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2558 advisory.

A vulnerability was found in X.Org. This issue occurs due to a dangling pointer in DeepCopyPointerClasses     that can be exploited by ProcXkbSetDeviceInfo() and ProcXkbGetDeviceInfo() to read and write into freed     memory. This can lead to local privilege elevation on systems where the X server runs privileged and     remote code execution for ssh X forwarding sessions. (CVE-2023-0494)

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.
