"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced
in the ALINUX3-SA-2026:0253 advisory.

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

    CVE-2026-59691:
    A heap buffer overflow vulnerability was found in GStreamer's rfbsrc plugin. When a client connects to a
    malicious RFB/VNC server that advertises a 16bpp framebuffer and sends Hextile-encoded updates, the
    Hextile background fill path writes 32-bit pixel values into a buffer allocated for 16-bit pixels. This
    type mismatch causes an out-of-bounds heap write that can lead to denial of service (process crash) and
    potential memory corruption.

    CVE-2026-59692:
    A stack buffer overflow vulnerability was found in GStreamer's DTLS plugin. During a DTLS handshake, the
    peer certificate Subject Distinguished Name is printed into a fixed-size 2048-byte stack buffer without
    bounds checking. A remote unauthenticated attacker can send a certificate with an oversized Subject DN
    that exceeds the buffer, causing a stack buffer overflow and process crash, resulting in denial of
    service.

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.");
