    CVE-2026-111497:
    A buffer overflow vulnerability in the Brotli decoder (c/dec/decode.c) in Google Brotli versions 1.0.3
    through 1.2.0 on all platforms allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to corrupt adjacent decoder state
    memory, disclose sensitive memory contents, cause a denial of service, or potentially execute arbitrary
    code using a crafted Brotli-compressed stream.
    Users need to update any Brotli libraries or binaries between 1.0.3 through 1.2.0 to the latest available
    version: 1.0.10 or 1.1.1 or 1.2.1.

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
