"The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
RLSA-2021:4326 advisory.

  - LookupCol.c in X.Org X through X11R7.7 and libX11 before 1.7.1 might allow remote attackers to execute
    arbitrary code. The libX11 XLookupColor request (intended for server-side color lookup) contains a flaw
    allowing a client to send color-name requests with a name longer than the maximum size allowed by the
    protocol (and also longer than the maximum packet size for normal-sized packets). The user-controlled data
    exceeding the maximum size is then interpreted by the server as additional X protocol requests and
    executed, e.g., to disable X server authorization completely. For example, if the victim encounters
    malicious terminal control sequences for color codes, then the attacker may be able to take full control
    of the running graphical session. (CVE-2021-31535)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
