The version of xorg-server installed on the remote host is prior to 1.20.14 / 21.1.4 / 22.1.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2022-290-01 advisory.
A vulnerability classified as critical was found in X.org Server. Affected by this vulnerability is the function _GetCountedString of the file xkb/xkb.c. The manipulation leads to buffer overflow. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The associated identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-211051. (CVE-2022-3550)
A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in X.org Server. Affected by this issue is the function ProcXkbGetKbdByName of the file xkb/xkb.c. The manipulation leads to memory leak. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-211052.
(CVE-2022-3551)
A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in X.org Server. This affects an unknown part of the file hw/xquartz/X11Controller.m of the component xquartz. The manipulation leads to denial of service. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The identifier VDB-211053 was assigned to this vulnerability. (CVE-2022-3553)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
