"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has zlib packages installed that are affected by a
vulnerability:

  - zlib versions up to and including 1.3.1.2 include a global buffer overflow in the untgz utility located
    under contrib/untgz. The vulnerability is limited to the standalone demonstration utility and does not
    affect the core zlib compression library. The flaw occurs when a user executes the untgz command with an
    excessively long archive name supplied via the command line, leading to an out-of-bounds write in a fixed-
    size global buffer. (CVE-2026-22184)

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