"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2025:0012 advisory.

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

    CVE-2024-20506:
    A vulnerability in the ClamD service module of Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV) versions 1.4.0, 1.3.2 and prior
    versions, all 1.2.x versions, 1.0.6 and prior versions, all 0.105.x versions, all 0.104.x versions, and
    0.103.11 and all prior versions could allow an authenticated, local attacker to corrupt critical system
    files.

    The vulnerability is due to allowing the ClamD process to write to its log file while privileged without
    checking if the logfile has been replaced with a symbolic link. An attacker could exploit this
    vulnerability if they replace the ClamD log file with a symlink to a critical system file and then find a
    way to restart the ClamD process. An exploit could allow the attacker to corrupt a critical system file by
    appending ClamD log messages after restart.

    CVE-2024-20505:
    A vulnerability in the PDF parsing module of Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV) versions 1.4.0, 1.3.2 and prior
    versions, all 1.2.x versions, 1.0.6 and prior versions, all 0.105.x versions, all 0.104.x versions, and
    0.103.11 and all prior versions could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of
    service (DoS) condition on an affected device.

    The vulnerability is due to an out of bounds read. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by
    submitting a crafted PDF file to be scanned by ClamAV on an affected device. An exploit could allow the
    attacker to terminate the scanning process.

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.");
