"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has libX11 packages installed that are affected by multiple
vulnerabilities:

  - A vulnerability was found in libX11 due to an integer overflow within the XCreateImage() function. This
    flaw allows a local user to trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code with elevated
    privileges. (CVE-2023-43787)

  - A vulnerability was found in libX11 due to a boundary condition within the _XkbReadKeySyms() function.
    This flaw allows a local user to trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read the contents of memory on
    the system. (CVE-2023-43785)

  - A vulnerability was found in libX11 due to an infinite loop within the PutSubImage() function. This flaw
    allows a local user to consume all available system resources and cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2023-43786)

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