The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 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.
glibc: posix_spawn_file_actions_addopen fails to copy the path argument (CVE-2014-4043)
glibc: heap/stack gap jumping via unbounded stack allocations (CVE-2017-1000366)
ld.so in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.13 and earlier expands the $ORIGIN dynamic string token when RPATH is composed entirely of this token, which might allow local users to gain privileges by creating a hard link in an arbitrary directory to a (1) setuid or (2) setgid program with this RPATH value, and then executing the program with a crafted value for the LD_PRELOAD environment variable, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-3847 and CVE-2011-0536. NOTE: it is not expected that any standard operating-system distribution would ship an applicable setuid or setgid program. (CVE-2011-1658)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager’s report that the package is installed.
