"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-2023:0120 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:
      CVE-2022-41859:
      In freeradius, the EAP-PWD function compute_password_element() leaks information about the password
    which allows an attacker to substantially reduce the size of an offline dictionary attack.
      CVE-2022-41860:
      In freeradius, when an EAP-SIM supplicant sends an unknown SIM option, the server will try to look that
    option up in the internal dictionaries. This lookup will fail, but the SIM code will not check for that
    failure. Instead, it will dereference a NULL pointer, and cause the server to crash.
      CVE-2022-41861:
      A flaw was found in freeradius. A malicious RADIUS client or home server can send a malformed abinary
    attribute which can cause the server to crash.

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.");
