"The version of NVIDIA Container Toolkit installed on the remote host is prior to 1.17.8. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the July 2025 advisory:

  - NVIDIA Container Toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in some hooks used to initialize the container,
    where an attacker could execute arbitrary code with elevated permissions. A successful exploit of this vulnerability
    might lead to escalation of privileges, data tampering, information disclosure, and denial of service.
    (CVE-2025-23266)

  - NVIDIA Container Toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in the update-ldcache hook, where an attacker
    could cause a link following by using a specially crafted container image. A successful exploit of this
    vulnerability might lead to data tampering and denial of service. (CVE-2025-23267)

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