"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the

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

    CVE-2023-3138:
    A vulnerability was found in libX11. The security flaw occurs because the functions in src/InitExt.c in
    libX11 do not check that the values provided for the Request, Event, or Error IDs are within the bounds of
    the arrays that those functions write to, using those IDs as array indexes. They trust that they were
    called with values provided by an Xserver adhering to the bounds specified in the X11 protocol, as all X
    servers provided by X.Org do. As the protocol only specifies a single byte for these values, an out-of-
    bounds value provided by a malicious server (or a malicious proxy-in-the-middle) can only overwrite other
    portions of the Display structure and not write outside the bounds of the Display structure itself,
    possibly causing the client to crash with this memory corruption.

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

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