The remote Oracle Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2021-1679 advisory.

  • An issue was discovered in disable_priv_mode in shell.c in GNU Bash through 5.0 patch 11. By default, if Bash is run with its effective UID not equal to its real UID, it will drop privileges by setting its effective UID to its real UID. However, it does so incorrectly. On Linux and other systems that support saved UID functionality, the saved UID is not dropped. An attacker with command execution in the shell can use enable -f for runtime loading of a new builtin, which can be a shared object that calls setuid() and therefore regains privileges. However, binaries running with an effective UID of 0 are unaffected.
    (CVE-2019-18276)

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