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

    A flaw was found in popt, a command-line option parsing library. An off-by-one error in the poptStuffArgs
    function, when repeatedly called by a host application or through deep alias nesting, can lead to
    corruption of internal program data. This corruption could potentially enable a local attacker to execute
    arbitrary code if the host application then unsafely processes the altered data.(CVE-2026-18739)

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

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