    CVE ID         : CVE-2026-25061
    Debian Bug     : #1126695

    A bug has been found in the tcpflow package: a wrong length check in the
    802.11 management frame parser allows a crafted frame with a large TIM
    length to cause an out-of-bounds write, resulting in a DoS and potentially
    in code execution.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
    1.5.2+repack1-1+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your tcpflow packages.

    For the detailed security status of tcpflow please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/tcpflow

    Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply
    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
    found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
