"It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1798 advisory.

    A flaw was found in libsolv. A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the PGP verification
    component due to incorrect length handling when copying EdDSA 's' MPI into a stack buffer. A remote
    attacker could craft a malicious Ed25519 PGP signature with mismatched MPI lengths. Processing this
    crafted signature could lead to a denial of service in automated package or repository processing
    workflows. (CVE-2026-48863)

    A flaw was found in libsolv. This heap buffer overflow occurs during the decompression of attacker-
    controlled compressed data within `.solv` files due to insufficient input validation. An attacker can
    provide a specially crafted `.solv` file, which, when processed by a vulnerable application, can lead to
    out-of-bounds memory access. This could result in information disclosure, alteration of program execution,
    or a denial of service. (CVE-2026-48864)

    A flaw was found in libsolv. This heap buffer overflow vulnerability occurs when a victim processes a
    specially crafted .solv file containing negative size values in the repo_add_solv function. This leads to
    an undersized memory allocation and a subsequent out-of-bounds write. An attacker could exploit this to
    cause a denial of service (DoS). (CVE-2026-9149)

    A flaw was found in libsolv. This stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability occurs in libsolv's Debian
    metadata parser when processing specially crafted Debian repository metadata. An attacker could exploit
    this by providing malicious SHA384 or SHA512 checksum tags, leading to memory corruption and a denial of
    service (DoS) in the affected system. (CVE-2026-9150)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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