"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2026:0386 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2026-40355:
    In MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 1.22.3, there is a NULL pointer dereference 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, causing the process to terminate in parse_nego_message.

    CVE-2026-40356:
    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.

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.");
