The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALSA-2020:4844 advisory.

  • An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in FontForge in versions before 20200314 while parsing SFD files containing certain LayerCount tokens. This flaw allows an attacker to manipulate the memory allocated on the heap, causing the application to crash or execute arbitrary code. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-25690)

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