"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the RHSA-2026:58939 advisory.

    SQLite is a C library that implements an SQL database engine. A large subset of SQL92 is supported. A
    complete database is stored in a single disk file. The API is designed for convenience and ease of use.
    Applications that link against SQLite can enjoy the power and flexibility of an SQL database without the
    administrative hassles of supporting a separate database server.

    Security Fix(es):

    * sqlite: SQLite: Arbitrary code execution via crafted FTS5 full-text search data (CVE-2026-11822)

    * sqlite: SQLite: Arbitrary code execution and crash via heap-based buffer overflow in FTS5
    (CVE-2026-11824)

    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
