The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.
nasm: use-after-free in paste_tokens in asm/preproc.c (CVE-2019-8343)
NASM nasm-2.13.03 nasm- 2.14rc15 version 2.14rc15 and earlier contains a memory corruption (crashed) of nasm when handling a crafted file due to function assemble_file(inname, depend_ptr) at asm/nasm.c:482.
vulnerability in function assemble_file(inname, depend_ptr) at asm/nasm.c:482. that can result in aborting/crash nasm program. This attack appear to be exploitable via a specially crafted asm file…
(CVE-2018-1000667)
nasm version 2.14.01rc5, 2.15 contains a Buffer Overflow vulnerability in asm/stdscan.c:130 that can result in Stack-overflow caused by triggering endless macro generation, crash the program. This attack appear to be exploitable via a crafted nasm input file. (CVE-2018-1000886)
Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14rc0 has a division-by-zero vulnerability in the expr5 function in asm/eval.c via a malformed input file. (CVE-2018-10016)
Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14rc0 has an endless while loop in the assemble_file function of asm/nasm.c because of a globallineno integer overflow. (CVE-2018-10316)
Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14rc15 has a buffer over-read in x86/regflags.c. (CVE-2018-16382)
asm/labels.c in Netwide Assembler (NASM) is prone to NULL Pointer Dereference, which allows the attacker to cause a denial of service via a crafted file. (CVE-2018-16517)
Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14rc15 has an invalid memory write (segmentation fault) in expand_smacro in preproc.c, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted input file. (CVE-2018-16999)
Netwide Assembler (NASM) through 2.14rc16 has memory leaks that may lead to DoS, related to nasm_malloc in nasmlib/malloc.c. (CVE-2018-19213)
Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14rc15 has a heap-based buffer over-read in expand_mmac_params in asm/preproc.c for insufficient input. (CVE-2018-19214)
Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14rc16 has a heap-based buffer over-read in expand_mmac_params in asm/preproc.c for the special cases of the % and $ and ! characters. (CVE-2018-19215)
There is an illegal address access at asm/preproc.c (function: is_mmacro) in Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14rc16 that will cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) because a certain conversion can result in a negative integer. (CVE-2018-19755)
There is a use-after-free at asm/preproc.c (function pp_getline) in Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14rc16 that will cause a denial of service during a line-number increment attempt. (CVE-2018-20535)
There is a use-after-free at asm/preproc.c (function pp_getline) in Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14rc16 that will cause a denial of service during certain finishes tests. (CVE-2018-20538)
Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.13.02rc2 has a stack-based buffer under-read in the function ieee_shr in asm/float.c via a large shift value. (CVE-2018-8882)
Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.13.02rc2 has a buffer over-read in the parse_line function in asm/parser.c via uncontrolled access to nasm_reg_flags. (CVE-2018-8883)
An infinite loop vulnerability exists in nasm 2.16rc0 via the gpaste_tokens function. (CVE-2021-45257)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager’s report that the package is installed.
