"A use-after-free vulnerability introduced in glibc upstream version
2.14 was found in the way the tilde expansion was carried out.
Directory paths containing an initial tilde followed by a valid
username were affected by this issue. A local attacker could exploit
this flaw by creating a specially crafted path that, when processed by
the glob function, would potentially lead to arbitrary code execution.
This was fixed in version 2.32.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
