"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied

- A carefully crafted or corrupt file may trigger a System.exit in Tika's OneNote Parser. Crafted or
corrupted files can also cause out of memory errors and/or infinite loops in Tika's ICNSParser, MP3Parser,
MP4Parser, SAS7BDATParser, OneNoteParser and ImageParser. Apache Tika users should upgrade to 1.24.1 or
later. The vulnerabilities in the MP4Parser were partially fixed by upgrading the
com.googlecode:isoparser:1.1.22 dependency to org.tallison:isoparser:1.9.41.2. For unrelated security
reasons, we upgraded org.apache.cxf to 3.3.6 as part of the 1.24.1 release. (CVE-2020-9489)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
