"The remote Fedora 32 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
FEDORA-2021-eed7193502 advisory.

  - A vulnerability was discovered in the PyYAML library in versions before 5.3.1, where it is susceptible to
    arbitrary code execution when it processes untrusted YAML files through the full_load method or with the
    FullLoader loader. Applications that use the library to process untrusted input may be vulnerable to this
    flaw. An attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code on the system by abusing the
    python/object/new constructor. (CVE-2020-1747)

  - A vulnerability was discovered in the PyYAML library in versions before 5.4, where it is susceptible to
    arbitrary code execution when it processes untrusted YAML files through the full_load method or with the
    FullLoader loader. Applications that use the library to process untrusted input may be vulnerable to this
    flaw. This flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system by abusing the
    python/object/new constructor. This flaw is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2020-1747. (CVE-2020-14343)

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