"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-2026-6861 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in GNU Emacs. This vulnerability, a memory corruption issue, occurs when Emacs processes
    specially crafted SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) data. A local user could
    exploit this by convincing a victim to open a malicious SVG file, which May lead to a denial of service
    (DoS) or potentially information disclosure. (CVE-2026-6861)
