"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2022:0002 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2021-41159:
    FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), released under the Apache license.
    All FreeRDP clients prior to version 2.4.1 using gateway connections (`/gt:rpc`) fail to validate input
    data. A malicious gateway might allow client memory to be written out of bounds. This issue has been
    resolved in version 2.4.1. If you are unable to update then use `/gt:http` rather than /gt:rdp connections
    if possible or use a direct connection without a gateway.

    CVE-2021-41160:
    FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), released under the Apache license.
    In affected versions a malicious server might trigger out of bound writes in a connected client.
    Connections using GDI or SurfaceCommands to send graphics updates to the client might send `0`
    width/height or out of bound rectangles to trigger out of bound writes. With `0` width or heigth the
    memory allocation will be `0` but the missing bounds checks allow writing to the pointer at this (not
    allocated) region. This issue has been patched in FreeRDP 2.4.1.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

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