"The version of libarrow 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-2024-52338 advisory.

  - Deserialization of untrusted data in IPC and Parquet readers in the Apache Arrow R package versions 4.0.0
    through 16.1.0 allows arbitrary code execution. An application is vulnerable if it reads Arrow IPC,
    Feather or Parquet data from untrusted sources (for example, user-supplied input files). This
    vulnerability only affects the arrow R package, not other Apache Arrow implementations or bindings unless
    those bindings are specifically used via the R package (for example, an R application that embeds a Python
    interpreter and uses PyArrow to read files from untrusted sources is still vulnerable if the arrow R
    package is an affected version). It is recommended that users of the arrow R package upgrade to 17.0.0 or
    later. Similarly, it is recommended that downstream libraries upgrade their dependency requirements to
    arrow 17.0.0 or later. If using an affected version of the package, untrusted data can read into a Table
    and its internal to_data_frame() method can be used as a workaround (e.g., read_parquet(..., as_data_frame
    = FALSE)$to_data_frame()). This issue affects the Apache Arrow R package: from 4.0.0 through 16.1.0. Users
    are recommended to upgrade to version 17.0.0, which fixes the issue. (CVE-2024-52338)

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