"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the RHSA-2023:7361 advisory.

    The ncurses (new curses) library routines are a terminal-independent method of updating character screens
    with reasonable optimization. The ncurses packages contain support utilities including a terminfo compiler
    tic, a decompiler infocmp, clear, tput, tset, and a termcap conversion tool captoinfo.

    Security Fix(es):

    * ncurses: Local users can trigger security-relevant memory corruption via malformed data (CVE-2023-29491)

    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
number.");
