Description John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-07-21 17:10:39 UTC
CVE-2021-20106:

Nessus Agent versions 8.2.5 and earlier were found to contain a privilege escalation vulnerability which could allow a Nessus administrator user to upload a specially crafted file that could lead to gaining administrator privileges on the Nessus host.


Nessus says this is a privilege escalation but it's worded more like a code
execution issue? Anyway, fixed in 8.3.0, please bump.

Doesn't matter since we won't GLSA anyway. Thanks Marecki! All done.
