"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-2024:0083 advisory.

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

    CVE-2023-50387:
    A flaw was found in the bind9 package. Processing specially crafted responses coming from DNSSEC-signed
    zones can lead to uncontrolled CPU usage, leading to a Denial of Service in the DNSSEC-validating resolver
    side.

    CVE-2023-50868:
    A flaw was found in bind9. By flooding a DNSSEC resolver with responses coming from a DNSEC-signed zone
    using NSEC3, an attacker can lead the targeted resolver to a CPU exhaustion, further leading to a Denial
    of Service on the targeted host.

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
