The remote Fedora 39 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-ad944c2d34 advisory.

  • A vulnerability was found in the pthread_create() function in libcap. This issue may allow a malicious actor to use cause __real_pthread_create() to return an error, which can exhaust the process memory.
    (CVE-2023-2602)

  • A vulnerability was found in libcap. This issue occurs in the _libcap_strdup() function and can lead to an integer overflow if the input string is close to 4GiB. (CVE-2023-2603)

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