"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2025-27363:
    An out of bounds write exists in FreeType versions 2.13.0 and below (newer versions of FreeType are not
    vulnerable) when attempting to parse font subglyph structures related to TrueType GX and variable font
    files. The vulnerable code assigns a signed short value to an unsigned long and then adds a static value
    causing it to wrap around and allocate too small of a heap buffer. The code then writes up to 6 signed
    long integers out of bounds relative to this buffer. This may result in arbitrary code execution. This
    vulnerability may have been exploited in the wild.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux security advisory.

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