"The version of elfutils 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-2025-1376 advisory.

  - A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in GNU elfutils 0.192. This vulnerability affects the
    function elf_strptr in the library /libelf/elf_strptr.c of the component eu-strip. The manipulation leads
    to denial of service. It is possible to launch the attack on the local host. The complexity of an attack
    is rather high. The exploitation appears to be difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and
    May be used. The name of the patch is b16f441cca0a4841050e3215a9f120a6d8aea918. It is recommended to apply
    a patch to fix this issue. (CVE-2025-1376)

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