The remote Fedora 37 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-eb9bec6e8c advisory.

  • A race condition exists in the Tang server functionality for key generation and key rotation. This flaw results in a small time window where Tang private keys become readable by other processes on the same host. (CVE-2023-1672)

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