The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:3184 advisory.

The grub2 packages provide version 2 of the Grand Unified Boot Loader (GRUB), a highly configurable and     customizable boot loader with modular architecture. The packages support a variety of kernel formats, file     systems, computer architectures, and hardware devices.

Security Fix(es):

* grub2: grub2-set-bootflag can be abused by local (pseudo-)users (CVE-2024-1048)

* grub2: Out-of-bounds write at fs/ntfs.c may lead to unsigned code execution (CVE-2023-4692)

* grub2: out-of-bounds read at fs/ntfs.c (CVE-2023-4693)

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.
