"The version of fluent-bit 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-2024-50609 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in Fluent Bit 3.1.9. When the OpenTelemetry input plugin is running and listening
    on an IP address and port, one can send a packet with Content-Length: 0 and it crashes the server.
    Improper handling of the case when Content-Length is 0 allows a user (with access to the endpoint) to
    perform a remote Denial of service attack. The crash happens because of a NULL pointer dereference when 0
    (from the Content-Length) is passed to the function cfl_sds_len, which in turn tries to cast a NULL
    pointer into struct cfl_sds. This is related to process_payload_traces_proto_ng() at opentelemetry_prot.c.
    (CVE-2024-50609)

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