"According to the versions of the libcap packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by
the following vulnerabilities :

    A flaw was found in libcap. A local unprivileged user can exploit a Time-of-check-to-time-of-use (TOCTOU)
    race condition in the `cap_set_file()` function. This allows an attacker with write access to a parent
    directory to redirect file capability updates to an attacker-controlled file. By doing so, capabilities
    can be injected into or stripped from unintended executables, leading to privilege
    escalation.(CVE-2026-4878)

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

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