"The version of AHV installed on the remote host is prior to 11.0.1.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AHV-11.0.1.6 advisory.

  - In MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 1.22.3, there is an integer underflow and resultant out-of-bounds read
    if an application calls gss_accept_sec_context() on a system with a NegoEx mechanism registered in
    /etc/gss/mech. An unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger this, possibly causing the process to
    terminate in parse_message. (CVE-2026-40356)

  - If a BIND resolver is performing DNSSEC validation and encounters a maliciously crafted zone, the resolver
    may consume excessive CPU. Authoritative-only servers are generally unaffected, although there are
    circumstances where authoritative servers may make recursive queries (see: https://kb.isc.org/docs/why-
    does-my-authoritative-server-make-recursive-queries). This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through
    9.16.50, 9.18.0 through 9.18.46, 9.20.0 through 9.20.20, 9.21.0 through 9.21.19, 9.11.3-S1 through
    9.16.50-S1, 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.46-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.20-S1. (CVE-2026-1519)

  - An issue was discovered in libsndfile 1.2.2 IMA ADPCM codec. The AIFF code path (line 241) was fixed with
    (sf_count_t) cast, but the WAV code path (line 235) and close path (line 167) were not. When
    samplesperblock (int) * blocks (int) exceeds INT_MAX, the 32-bit multiplication overflows before being
    assigned to sf.frames (sf_count_t/int64). With samplesperblock=50000 and blocks=50000, the product
    2500000000 overflows to -1794967296. This causes incorrect frame count leading to heap buffer overflow or
    denial of service. Both values come from the WAV file header and are attacker-controlled. This issue was
    discovered after an incomplete fix for CVE-2022-33065. (CVE-2026-37555)

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