The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202312-09 (NASM: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  • In Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14.02, there is a use-after-free in paste_tokens in asm/preproc.c.
    (CVE-2019-8343)

  • A Segmentation Fault issue discovered in in ieee_segment function in outieee.c in nasm 2.14.03 and 2.15 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted assembly file. (CVE-2020-21528)

  • NASM v2.16 was discovered to contain a heap buffer overflow in the component quote_for_pmake() asm/nasm.c:856 (CVE-2022-44370)

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