The version of amanda installed on the remote host is prior to 2.6.1p2-8.14. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1808 advisory.

  • An issue was discovered in Amanda 3.3.1. A user with backup privileges can trivially compromise a client installation. The runtar setuid root binary does not check for additional arguments supplied after
    –create, allowing users to manipulate commands and perform command injection as root. (CVE-2016-10729)

  • AMANDA (Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver) before tag-community-3.5.4 mishandles argument checking for runtar.c, a different vulnerability than CVE-2022-37705. (CVE-2023-30577)

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