vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2026-4112 advisory.

    A vulnerability was identified in libimobiledevice up to 1.4.0. This affects an unknown part of the file
    src/afc.c of the component AFC. Such manipulation leads to heap-based buffer overflow. The attack can be
    executed remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. The vendor was contacted early
    about this disclosure but did not respond in any way. (CVE-2026-116258)

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
