"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the RHSA-2026:1621 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.  With gpsd, multiple GPS client applications (such as navigational and
    war-driving software) can share access to a GPS without contention or loss of data.  Also, gpsd responds
    to queries with a format that is substantially easier to parse than NMEA 0183.

    Security Fix(es):

    * 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 this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
