    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2024-10963:
    A vulnerability was found in pam_access due to the improper handling of tokens in access.conf, interpreted
    as hostnames. This flaw allows attackers to bypass access restrictions by spoofing hostnames, undermining
    configurations designed to limit access to specific TTYs or services. The flaw poses a risk in
    environments relying on these configurations for local access control.

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

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