"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced
in the ALINUX3-SA-2021:0055 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2019-13012:
    The keyfile settings backend in GNOME GLib (aka glib2.0) before 2.60.0 creates directories using
    g_file_make_directory_with_parents (kfsb->dir, NULL, NULL) and files using g_file_replace_contents
    (kfsb->file, contents, length, NULL, FALSE, G_FILE_CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION, NULL, NULL, NULL).
    Consequently, it does not properly restrict directory (and file) permissions. Instead, for directories,
    0777 permissions are used; for files, default file permissions are used. This is similar to
    CVE-2019-12450.

    CVE-2021-27218:
    An issue was discovered in GNOME GLib before 2.66.7 and 2.67.x before 2.67.4. If g_byte_array_new_take()
    was called with a buffer of 4GB or more on a 64-bit platform, the length would be truncated modulo 2**32,
    causing unintended length truncation.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux security advisory.

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