"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-2025-11234:
    A flaw was found in QEMU. If the QIOChannelWebsock object is freed while it is waiting to complete a
    handshake, a GSource is leaked. This can lead to the callback firing later on and triggering a use-after-
    free in the use of the channel. This can be abused by a malicious client with network access to the VNC
    WebSocket port to cause a denial of service during the WebSocket handshake prior to the VNC client
    authentication.

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.");
