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

  - FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), released under the Apache license.
    Affected versions are subject to a missing offset validation leading to Out Of Bound Read. In the
    `libfreerdp/codec/rfx.c` file there is no offset validation in `tile->quantIdxY`, `tile->quantIdxCb`, and
    `tile->quantIdxCr`. As a result crafted input can lead to an out of bounds read access which in turn will
    cause a crash. This issue has been addressed in versions 2.11.0 and 3.0.0-beta3. Users are advised to
    upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-39353)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
