The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202405-17 (glibc: Multiple Vulnerabilities)
The iconv() function in the GNU C Library versions 2.39 and older may overflow the output buffer passed to it by up to 4 bytes when converting strings to the ISO-2022-CN-EXT character set, which may be used to crash an application or overwrite a neighbouring variable. (CVE-2024-2961)
Please review the referenced CVE identifiers for details. (CVE-2024-33599, CVE-2024-33600, CVE-2024-33601, CVE-2024-33602)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
