The remote Fedora 38 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-0fb94a1209 advisory.

  • PyInstaller bundles a Python application and all its dependencies into a single package. A PyInstaller built application, elevated as a privileged process, may be tricked by an unprivileged attacker into deleting files the unprivileged user does not otherwise have access to. A user is affected if all the following are satisfied: 1. The user runs an application containing either matplotlib or win32com. 2.
    The application is ran as administrator (or at least a user with higher privileges than the attacker). 3.
    The user’s temporary directory is not locked to that specific user (most likely due to TMP/TEMP environment variables pointing to an unprotected, arbitrary, non default location). Either: A. The attacker is able to very carefully time the replacement of a temporary file with a symlink. This switch must occur exactly between shutil.rmtree()'s builtin symlink check and the deletion itself B: The application was built with Python 3.7.x or earlier which has no protection against Directory Junctions links. The vulnerability has been addressed in PR #7827 which corresponds to pyinstaller >= 5.13.1.
    Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-49797)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
