referenced in the ALAS2-2026-3182 advisory.

    A flaw was found in QEMU. A specially crafted VMDK image could trigger an out-of-bounds read
    vulnerability, potentially leading to a 12-byte leak of sensitive information or a denial of service
    condition (DoS). (CVE-2026-2243)

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
