"The version of AHV installed on the remote host is prior to 11.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities
as referenced in the NXSA-AHV-11.2 advisory.

  - A vulnerability has been found in GNU Binutils 2.45. The affected element is the function elf_swap_shdr in
    the library bfd/elfcode.h of the component Linker. The manipulation leads to heap-based buffer overflow.
    The attack must be carried out locally. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The
    identifier of the patch is 9ca499644a21ceb3f946d1c179c38a83be084490. To fix this issue, it is recommended
    to deploy a patch. The code maintainer replied with [f]ixed for 2.46. (CVE-2025-11083)

  - Capstone is a disassembly framework. In versions 6.0.0-Alpha5 and prior, an unchecked vsnprintf return in
    SStream_concat lets a malicious cs_opt_mem.vsnprintf drive SStream's index negative or past the end,
    leading to a stack buffer underflow/overflow when the next write occurs. Commit
    2c7797182a1618be12017d7d41e0b6581d5d529e fixes the issue. (CVE-2025-68114)

  - 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)

  - In Sudo through 1.9.17p2 before 3e474c2, a failure of a setuid, setgid, or setgroups call, during a
    privilege drop before running the mailer, is not a fatal error and can lead to privilege escalation.
    (CVE-2026-35535)

  - In GnuPG before 2.4.9, armor_filter in g10/armor.c has two increments of an index variable where one is
    intended, leading to an out-of-bounds write for crafted input. (For ExtendedLTS, 2.2.51 and later are
    fixed versions.) (CVE-2025-68973)

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