vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS-2025-1971 advisory.

    Calling Decoder.Decode on a message which contains deeply nested structures can cause a panic due to stack
    exhaustion. This is a follow-up to CVE-2022-30635. (CVE-2024-34156)

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.");
