"The version of gsl installed on the remote host is prior to 1.15-13. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as
referenced in the ALAS2-2025-2758 advisory.

    GSL (GNU Scientific Library) through 2.8 has an integer signedness error in gsl_siman_solve_many in
    siman/siman.c. When params.n_tries is negative, incorrect memory allocation occurs. (CVE-2024-50610)

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

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