"The version of LibreOffice installed on the remote host is prior to 26.2.6, or 26.8.x prior to 26.8.1. It is,
therefore, affected by a heap buffer overflow vulnerability:

  - LibreOffice includes a dBASE database driver, which reads dBASE tables and their .ndx index files when a
    folder of dBASE files is used as a data source. A heap buffer overflow existed when an index page was read.
    The number of entries recorded in a page was not checked against the number of entries the page could hold,
    which comes from a different field of the index header. A crafted index could also make a page refer back to
    itself, so that reading it recursed without end. (CVE-2026-76181)

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