The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 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.

  • binutils: Heap-buffer-overflow binutils-gdb/bfd/libbfd.c in bfd_getl64 (CVE-2023-1579)

  • An issue was discovered in GNU libiberty, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.36. It is a stack-overflow issue in demangle_type in rust-demangle.c. (CVE-2021-32256)

  • Heap buffer overflow vulnerability in binutils readelf before 2.40 via function find_section_in_set in file readelf.c. (CVE-2022-44840)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager’s report that the package is installed.
