The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2024:1088 advisory.

The libX11 packages contain the core X11 protocol client library.

Security Fix(es):

* libX11: InitExt.c can overwrite unintended portions of the Display structure if the extension request     leads to a buffer overflow (CVE-2023-3138)

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.
