"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the RHSA-2024:6568 advisory.

    Red Hat Directory Server is an LDAPv3-compliant directory server. The suite of packages includes the
    Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server, as well as command-line utilities and Web UI packages
    for server administration.

    Security Fixes:

    * 389-ds-base: Malformed userPassword hash may cause Denial of Service (CVE-2024-5953) (DIRSRV-151)

    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.

    Bug Fix(es):

    * Improved performance of filter component when evaluating a large value set, such as group members
    (DIRSRV-149)

    * The new connection timeout error no longer breaks error mapping (DIRSRV-150)

    Users of Red Hat Directory Server 11 are advised to install these updated packages.

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
