"According to the versions of the nfs-utils package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host
is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    A vulnerability was recently discovered in the rpc.mountd daemon in the nfs-utils package for Linux, that
    allows a NFSv3 client to escalate the privileges assigned to it in the /etc/exports file at mount time. In
    particular, it allows the client to access any subdirectory or subtree of an exported directory,
    regardless of the set file permissions, and regardless of any 'root_squash' or 'all_squash' attributes
    that would normally be expected to apply to that client.(CVE-2025-12801)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS Virtualization nfs-utils security
advisory.

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