"The remote Fedora 42 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
FEDORA-2026-a2f3af8a86 advisory.

    This update switches the currency symbol for Bulgaria to the Euro.

    Furthermore, it addresses several security vulnerabilities:

    * A crash when `wordexp` is used with `WRDE_REUSE` (CVE-2025-15281)
    * Information leakage from the stack if `getnetbyaddr` is called for the zero address (CVE-2026-0915)
    * An integer overflow in `memalign` and related functions if they are called with out-of-bounds
    size/alignment combinations (CVE-2026-0861)
    * `LD_PROFILE` is now ignored with a warning if `LD_PROFILE_OUTPUT` is not specified, rather than using
    the insecure `/var/tmp` default.

    The changes updates from the upstream stable release branch are applied:

    * nptl: Optimize trylock for high cache contention workloads (BZ #33704) (Sunil K Pandey)
    * sprof: fix -Wformat warnings on 32-bit hosts (Collin Funk)
    * sprof: check pread size and offset for overflow (DJ Delorie)


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

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