The remote Fedora 37 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-1536766e9f advisory.

  • The issue was addressed with improved checks. This issue is fixed in macOS Sonoma 14. Processing web content may lead to arbitrary code execution. Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited against versions of iOS before iOS 16.7. (CVE-2023-41993)

  • A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the MediaRecorder API of Webkit WebKitGTK 2.40.5. A specially crafted web page can abuse this vulnerability to cause memory corruption and potentially arbitrary code execution. A user would need to to visit a malicious webpage to trigger this vulnerability.
    (CVE-2023-39928)

  • The issue was addressed with improved memory handling. This issue is fixed in tvOS 17, Safari 17, watchOS 10, iOS 17 and iPadOS 17, macOS Sonoma 14. Processing web content may lead to arbitrary code execution.
    (CVE-2023-35074)
