"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-2023:0295 advisory.

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

      CVE-2023-28100:
      Flatpak is a system for building, distributing, and running sandboxed desktop applications on Linux.
    Versions prior to 1.10.8, 1.12.8, 1.14.4, and 1.15.4 contain a vulnerability similar to CVE-2017-5226, but
    using the TIOCLINUX ioctl command instead of TIOCSTI. If a Flatpak app is run on a Linux virtual console
    such as /dev/tty1, it can copy text from the virtual console and paste it into the command buffer, from
    which the command might be run after the Flatpak app has exited. Ordinary graphical terminal emulators
    like xterm, gnome-terminal and Konsole are unaffected. This vulnerability is specific to the Linux virtual
    consoles /dev/tty1, /dev/tty2 and so on. A patch is available in versions 1.10.8, 1.12.8, 1.14.4, and
    1.15.4. As a workaround, don't run Flatpak on a Linux virtual console. Flatpak is primarily designed to be
    used in a Wayland or X11 graphical environment.

      CVE-2023-28101:
      Flatpak is a system for building, distributing, and running sandboxed desktop applications on Linux. In
    versions prior to 1.10.8, 1.12.8, 1.14.4, and 1.15.4, if an attacker publishes a Flatpak app with elevated
    permissions, they can hide those permissions from users of the flatpak(1) command-line interface by
    setting other permissions to crafted values that contain non-printable control characters such as ESC. A
    fix is available in versions 1.10.8, 1.12.8, 1.14.4, and 1.15.4. As a workaround, use a GUI like GNOME
    Software rather than the command-line interface, or only install apps whose maintainers you trust.

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.");
