The version of Trellix Agent, formerly McAfee Agent or McAfee Policy Orchestrator (ePO) Agent, installed on the remote host is prior to 5.7.9. It is, therefore, affected by a heap-based overflow vulnerability in TA 5.7.8 and earlier allows a remote user to alter the page heap in the macmnsvc process memory block, resulting in the service becoming unavailable. (CVE-2023-0977)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
