"The version of CBL-Mariner Releases installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2026-14461 advisory.

  - mtr is vulnerable to Out-of-bound read vulnerability in ipinfo_lookup() function. An attacker who can
    influence the TXT response used for AS lookups can trigger this bug by returning a DNS response that is
    larger than 512 bytes and uses a crafted compression pointer in the answer NAME field. ipinfo_lookup()
    function uses the length of the response as the end-of-message boundary for dn_expand() function. The
    result is a reliable crash. This issue exists in the mtr through version 0.96 and it was fixed in commit
    48e1794414d338ce47abc0f27c25ade8788af9c3. (CVE-2026-14461)
