The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202305-23 (Lua: Multiple Vulnerabilities)
Buffer overflow in the vararg functions in ldo.c in Lua 5.1 through 5.2.x before 5.2.3 allows context- dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a small number of arguments to a function with a large number of fixed arguments. (CVE-2014-5461)
Lua v5.4.3 and above are affected by SEGV by type confusion in funcnamefromcode function in ldebug.c which can cause a local denial of service. (CVE-2021-44647)
singlevar in lparser.c in Lua from (including) 5.4.0 up to (excluding) 5.4.4 lacks a certain luaK_exp2anyregup call, leading to a heap-based buffer over-read that might affect a system that compiles untrusted Lua code. (CVE-2022-28805)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
