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

    Integer overflow vulnerability has been found in 'builtin.c' program file of gawk. This issue may lead to
    memory exhaustion on the hosting operating system and could be used to overwrite gawk heap metadata and
    objects with attacker-controlled bytes. It affects  gawk in versions 5.4.0 and below.(CVE-2026-40468)

    Use After Free vulnerability has been found in 'io.c' program file of gawk (do_getline_redir() routine).
    This issue may lead to a crash. It affects  gawk in versions 5.4.0 and below.(CVE-2026-40467)

    Buffer overflow vulnerability has been found in 'extension/readdir.c' program file of gawk (ftype()
    routine). This issue could be used to crash the program and potentially to achieve code execution,
    although the latter has not been confirmed to be feasible. It affects  gawk in versions 5.4.0 and
    below.(CVE-2026-40553)

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

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