"The version of rust installed on the remote host is prior to 1.68.2-1.66. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability
as referenced in the ALAS-2025-1956 advisory.

    libgit2 is a portable C implementation of the Git core methods provided as a linkable library with a solid
    API, allowing to build Git functionality into your application. Using well-crafted inputs to
    `git_index_add` can cause heap corruption that could be leveraged for arbitrary code execution. There is
    an issue in the `has_dir_name` function in `src/libgit2/index.c`, which frees an entry that should not be
    freed. The freed entry is later used and overwritten with potentially bad actor-controlled data leading to
    controlled heap corruption. Depending on the application that uses libgit2, this could lead to arbitrary
    code execution. This issue has been patched in version 1.6.5 and 1.7.2. (CVE-2024-24577)

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.");
