The remote Fedora 39 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2024-c601293124 advisory.

  • A stack based buffer overflow was found in the virtio-net device of QEMU. This issue occurs when flushing TX in the virtio_net_flush_tx function if guest features VIRTIO_NET_F_HASH_REPORT, VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1 and VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF are enabled. This could allow a malicious user to overwrite local variables allocated on the stack. Specifically, the out_sg variable could be used to read a part of process memory and send it to the wire, causing an information leak. (CVE-2023-6693)

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