"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
ALINUX3-SA-2026:0041 advisory.

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

    CVE-2025-69419:
    Issue summary: Calling PKCS12_get_friendlyname() function on a maliciously
    crafted PKCS#12 file with a BMPString (UTF-16BE) friendly name containing
    non-ASCII BMP code point can trigger a one byte write before the allocated
    buffer.
    Impact summary: The out-of-bounds write can cause a memory corruption
    which can have various consequences including a Denial of Service.
    The OPENSSL_uni2utf8() function performs a two-pass conversion of a PKCS#12
    BMPString (UTF-16BE) to UTF-8. In the second pass, when emitting UTF-8 bytes,
    the helper function bmp_to_utf8() incorrectly forwards the remaining UTF-16
    source byte count as the destination buffer capacity to UTF8_putc(). For BMP
    code points above U+07FF, UTF-8 requires three bytes, but the forwarded
    capacity can be just two bytes. UTF8_putc() then returns -1, and this negative
    value is added to the output length without validation, causing the
    length to become negative. The subsequent trailing NUL byte is then written
    at a negative offset, causing write outside of heap allocated buffer.
    The vulnerability is reachable via the public PKCS12_get_friendlyname() API
    when parsing attacker-controlled PKCS#12 files. While PKCS12_parse() uses a
    different code path that avoids this issue, PKCS12_get_friendlyname() directly
    invokes the vulnerable function. Exploitation requires an attacker to provide
    a malicious PKCS#12 file to be parsed by the application and the attacker
    can just trigger a one zero byte write before the allocated buffer.
    For that reason the issue was assessed as Low severity according to our
    Security Policy.
    The FIPS modules in 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue,
    as the PKCS#12 implementation is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary.
    OpenSSL 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.0 and 1.1.1 are vulnerable to this issue.
    OpenSSL 1.0.2 is not affected by this issue.

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
