"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the RHSA-2025:0743 advisory.

    The keepalived utility provides simple and robust facilities for load balancing and high availability. The
    load balancing framework relies on the well-known and widely used IP Virtual Server (IPVS) kernel module
    providing layer-4 (transport layer) load balancing. Keepalived implements a set of checkers to dynamically
    and adaptively maintain and manage a load balanced server pool according to the health of the servers.
    Keepalived also implements the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRPv2) to achieve high availability
    with director failover.

    Security Fix(es):

    * keepalived: Integer overflow vulnerability in vrrp_ipsets_handler (CVE-2024-41184)

    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.");
