The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2021:1274-1 advisory.
mail
from mailutils package used in mail actions like mail-whois
can execute command if unescaped sequences (\n~
) are available in foreign input (for instance in whois output). To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would need to insert malicious characters into the response sent by the whois server, either via a MITM attack or by taking over a whois server. The issue is patched in versions 0.10.7 and 0.11.3. As a workaround, one may avoid the usage of action mail-whois
or patch the vulnerability manually. (CVE-2021-32749)Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

0.10.0 through 0.10.6, and 0.11.0 through 0.11.2, there is a vulnerability that leads to possible remote
