"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2025:0083 advisory.

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

    CVE-2023-24805:
    cups-filters contains backends, filters, and other software required to get the cups printing service
    working on operating systems other than macos. If you use the Backend Error Handler (beh) to create an
    accessible network printer, this security vulnerability can cause remote code execution. `beh.c` contains
    the line `retval = system(cmdline) >> 8;` which calls the `system` command with the operand `cmdline`.
    `cmdline` contains multiple user controlled, unsanitized values. As a result an attacker with network
    access to the hosted print server can exploit this vulnerability to inject system commands which are
    executed in the context of the running server. This issue has been addressed in commit `8f2740357` and is
    expected to be bundled in the next release. Users are advised to upgrade when possible and to restrict
    access to network printers in the meantime.

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.");
