The remote Fedora 38 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-9ef8a60a05 advisory.

  • A vulnerability was found in perl. This issue occurs when a crafted regular expression is compiled by perl, which can allow an attacker controlled byte buffer overflow in a heap allocated buffer.
    (CVE-2023-47038)

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