"The CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare CENTOS7:CLSA-2024:1727115733 advisory.

  - In RDoc 3.11 through 6.x before 6.3.1, as distributed with Ruby through 3.0.1, it is possible to execute
    arbitrary code via | and tags in a filename. (CVE-2021-31799)

  - An issue was discovered in Ruby through 2.6.7, 2.7.x through 2.7.3, and 3.x through 3.0.1. Net::IMAP does
    not raise an exception when StartTLS fails with an an unknown response, which might allow man-in-the-
    middle attackers to bypass the TLS protections by leveraging a network position between the client and the
    registry to block the StartTLS command, aka a StartTLS stripping attack. (CVE-2021-32066)

  - Date.parse in the date gem through 3.2.0 for Ruby allows ReDoS (regular expression Denial of Service) via
    a long string. The fixed versions are 3.2.1, 3.1.2, 3.0.2, and 2.0.1. (CVE-2021-41817)

  - CGI::Cookie.parse in Ruby through 2.6.8 mishandles security prefixes in cookie names. This also affects
    the CGI gem through 0.3.0 for Ruby. (CVE-2021-41819)

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