"The version of fltk / teckit installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2023-6992 advisory.

  - Cloudflare version of zlib library was found to be vulnerable to memory corruption issues affecting the
    deflation algorithm implementation (deflate.c). The issues resulted from improper input validation and
    heap-based buffer overflow. A local attacker could exploit the problem during compression using a crafted
    malicious file potentially leading to denial of service of the software. Patches: The issue has been
    patched in commit 8352d10
    https://github.com/cloudflare/zlib/commit/8352d108c05db1bdc5ac3bdf834dad641694c13c . The upstream
    repository is not affected. (CVE-2023-6992)
