"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced
in the ALINUX3-SA-2026:0040 advisory.

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

    CVE-2026-22855:
    FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.20.1, a heap out-of-bounds
    read occurs in the smartcard SetAttrib path when cbAttrLen does not match the actual NDR buffer length.
    This vulnerability is fixed in 3.20.1.

    CVE-2026-22858:
    FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.20.1, global-buffer-overflow
    was observed in FreeRDP's Base64 decoding path. The root cause appears to be implementation-defined char
    signedness: on Arm/AArch64 builds, plain char is treated as unsigned, so the guard c <= 0 can be optimized
    into a simple c != 0 check. As a result, non-ASCII bytes (e.g., 0x80-0xFF) may bypass the intended range
    restriction and be used as an index into a global lookup table, causing out-of-bounds access. This
    vulnerability is fixed in 3.20.1.

    CVE-2026-22859:
    FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.20.1, the URBDRC client does
    not perform bounds checking on serversupplied MSUSB_INTERFACE_DESCRIPTOR values and uses them as
    indices in libusb_udev_complete_msconfig_setup, causing an outofbounds read. This vulnerability is
    fixed in 3.20.1.

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

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