"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-2025:0056 advisory.

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

    CVE-2022-36227:
    In libarchive before 3.6.2, the software does not check for an error after calling calloc function that
    can return with a NULL pointer if the function fails, which leads to a resultant NULL pointer dereference.
    NOTE: the discoverer cites this CWE-476 remark but third parties dispute the code-execution impact: In
    rare circumstances, when NULL is equivalent to the 0x0 memory address and privileged code can access it,
    then writing or reading memory is possible, which may lead to code execution.

    CVE-2023-30571:
    Libarchive through 3.6.2 can cause directories to have world-writable permissions. The umask() call inside
    archive_write_disk_posix.c changes the umask of the whole process for a very short period of time; a race
    condition with another thread can lead to a permanent umask 0 setting. Such a race condition could lead to
    implicit directory creation with permissions 0777 (without the sticky bit), which means that any low-
    privileged local user can delete and rename files inside those directories.

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.");
