The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:0647 advisory.

  • rpm: TOCTOU race in checks for unsafe symlinks (CVE-2021-35937)

  • rpm: races with chown/chmod/capabilities calls during installation (CVE-2021-35938)

  • rpm: checks for unsafe symlinks are not performed for intermediary directories (CVE-2021-35939)

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