"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the RHSA-2019:1517 advisory.

    GVFS is the GNOME Desktop Virtual File System layer that allows users to easily access local and remote
    data using File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Secure Shell File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), Web Distributed
    Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV), Common Internet File System (CIFS), Server Message Block (SMB), and
    other protocols. GVFS integrates with the GNOME I/O (GIO) abstraction layer.

    Security Fix(es):

    * gvfs: Incorrect authorization in admin backend allows privileged users to read and modify arbitrary
    files without prompting for password (CVE-2019-3827)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and
    other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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