"The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for gpsd-minimal.");

"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the RHSA-2026:0771 advisory.

    gpsd is a service daemon that mediates access to a GPS sensor connected to the host computer by serial or
    USB interface, making its data on the location/course/velocity of the sensor available to be queried on
    TCP port 2947 of the host computer.  The Red Hat support for this package is limited. See
    https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/gpsd-support for more details.

    Security Fix(es):

    * gpsd: gpsd: Denial of Service due to malformed NAVCOM packet parsing (CVE-2025-67269)

    * gpsd: gpsd: Arbitrary code execution via heap-based out-of-bounds write in NMEA2000 packet handling
    (CVE-2025-67268)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and
    other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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