The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:2973 advisory.

The libX11 packages contain the core X11 protocol client library.

Security Fix(es):

* libX11: out-of-bounds memory access in _XkbReadKeySyms() (CVE-2023-43785)

* libX11: stack exhaustion from infinite recursion in PutSubImage() (CVE-2023-43786)

* libX11: integer overflow in XCreateImage() leading to a heap overflow (CVE-2023-43787)

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.

Additional Changes:

For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.10 Release Notes     linked from 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 these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
