The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202305-15 (systemd: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  • A flaw was found in systemd. An uncontrolled recursion in systemd-tmpfiles may lead to a denial of service at boot time when too many nested directories are created in /tmp. (CVE-2021-3997)

  • An off-by-one Error issue was discovered in Systemd in format_timespan() function of time-util.c. An attacker could supply specific values for time and accuracy that leads to buffer overrun in format_timespan(), leading to a Denial of Service. (CVE-2022-3821)

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