"The version of NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit installed on the remote host is prior to 12.9.0. It is, therefore, affected by
a vulnerability: NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in the cuobjdump binary, where a 
failure to check the length of a buffer could allow a user to cause the tool to crash or execute arbitrary code by 
passing in a malformed ELF file. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to arbitrary code execution.

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