The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:0576 advisory.
avahi: Local DoS by event-busy-loop from writing long lines to /run/avahi-daemon/socket (CVE-2021-3468)
avahi: Reachable assertion in avahi_dns_packet_append_record (CVE-2023-38469)
avahi: Reachable assertion in avahi_escape_label (CVE-2023-38470)
avahi: Reachable assertion in dbus_set_host_name (CVE-2023-38471)
avahi: Reachable assertion in avahi_rdata_parse (CVE-2023-38472)
avahi: Reachable assertion in avahi_alternative_host_name (CVE-2023-38473)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
