"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced
in the ALINUX3-SA-2026:0239 advisory.

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

    CVE-2026-54058:
    Pillow is a Python imaging library. Prior to 12.3.0, when Pillow loads an uncompressed McIdas AREA image
    from a filename through the mmap raw codec path, attacker-controlled header words can set a row stride
    smaller than the natural row width, causing pixel access such as Image.tobytes(), getpixel, convert, or
    save to read beyond the mapped region and disclose adjacent process memory or fault. This issue is fixed
    in version 12.3.0.

    CVE-2026-59197:
    Pillow is a Python imaging library. Prior to 12.3.0, Pillow's public rank-filter API can trigger a native
    heap out-of-bounds write when given a very large odd filter size because ImageFilter.RankFilter.filter()
    calls image.expand(size // 2, size // 2) before rank-filter size validation and ImagingExpand() computes
    output dimensions with unchecked signed int arithmetic. This issue is fixed in version 12.3.0.

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.");
