"The remote Fedora 43 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
FEDORA-2026-a457bf78b4 advisory.

    This package provides the Perl module HTML::Gumbo. Versions before 0.19 disclose heap memory via type
    confusion.

    Support for the <template> element was added to libgumbo 0.10.0 in 2015, but the walk_tree function in
    lib/HTML/Gumbo.xs was not updated to support it. The element was treated as a text-node, where strlen()
    over-reads the heap block that the pointer addresses.

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

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