"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.06, has gcc packages installed that are affected by a
vulnerability:

  - The POWER9 backend in GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) before version 10 could optimize multiple calls of the
    __builtin_darn intrinsic into a single call, thus reducing the entropy of the random number generator.
    This occurred because a volatile operation was not specified. For example, within a single execution of a
    program, the output of every __builtin_darn() call may be the same. (CVE-2019-15847)

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