"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has keepalived packages installed that are
affected by a vulnerability:

  - keepalived 2.0.8 didn't check for pathnames with
    symlinks when writing data to a temporary file upon a
    call to PrintData or PrintStats. This allowed local
    users to overwrite arbitrary files if
    fs.protected_symlinks is set to 0, as demonstrated by a
    symlink from /tmp/keepalived.data or
    /tmp/keepalived.stats to /etc/passwd. (CVE-2018-19044)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
