"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 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.
- libtasn1: Stack-based buffer overflow in asn1_find_node() (CVE-2017-6891)
- libtasn1: Infinite loop in _asn1_expand_object_id(ptree) leads to memory exhaustion (CVE-2018-1000654)
- The _asn1_check_identifier function in GNU Libtasn1 through 4.12 causes a NULL pointer dereference and
crash when reading crafted input that triggers assignment of a NULL value within an asn1_node structure.
It may lead to a remote denial of service attack. (CVE-2017-10790)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package
is installed.");
