"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2025:0465 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2025-5918:
    A vulnerability has been identified in the libarchive library. This flaw can be triggered when file
    streams are piped into bsdtar, potentially allowing for reading past the end of the file. This out-of-
    bounds read can lead to unintended consequences, including unpredictable program behavior, memory
    corruption, or a denial-of-service condition.

    CVE-2025-5917:
    A vulnerability has been identified in the libarchive library. This flaw involves an 'off-by-one'
    miscalculation when handling prefixes and suffixes for file names. This can lead to a 1-byte write
    overflow. While seemingly small, such an overflow can corrupt adjacent memory, leading to unpredictable
    program behavior, crashes, or in specific circumstances, could be leveraged as a building block for more
    sophisticated exploitation.

    CVE-2025-5916:
    A vulnerability has been identified in the libarchive library. This flaw involves an integer overflow that
    can be triggered when processing a Web Archive (WARC) file that claims to have more than INT64_MAX - 4
    content bytes. An attacker could craft a malicious WARC archive to induce this overflow, potentially
    leading to unpredictable program behavior, memory corruption, or a denial-of-service condition within
    applications that process such archives using libarchive.

    CVE-2025-5915:
    A vulnerability has been identified in the libarchive library. This flaw can lead to a heap buffer over-
    read due to the size of a filter block potentially exceeding the Lempel-Ziv-Storer-Schieber (LZSS) window.
    This means the library may attempt to read beyond the allocated memory buffer, which can result in
    unpredictable program behavior, crashes (denial of service), or the disclosure of sensitive information
    from adjacent memory regions.

    CVE-2025-5914:
    A vulnerability has been identified in the libarchive library, specifically within the
    archive_read_format_rar_seek_data() function. This flaw involves an integer overflow that can ultimately
    lead to a double-free condition. Exploiting a double-free vulnerability can result in memory corruption,
    enabling an attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial-of-service condition.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

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