The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has kdelibs packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

  • In KDE Frameworks KConfig before 5.61.0, malicious desktop files and configuration files lead to code execution with minimal user interaction. This relates to libKF5ConfigCore.so, and the mishandling of .desktop and .directory files, as demonstrated by a shell command on an Icon line in a .desktop file. (CVE-2019-14744)

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