The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2020-4908 advisory.

  • An integer overflow vulnerability leading to a double-free was found in libX11. This flaw allows a local privileged attacker to cause an application compiled with libX11 to crash, or in some cases, result in arbitrary code execution. The highest threat from this flaw is to confidentiality, integrity as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-14363)

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