"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-2026:0785 advisory.

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

    CVE-2026-66035:
    libssh2 through 1.11.1, fixed in commit 42e33d8, contains a pre-authentication heap buffer overflow
    vulnerability that allows a malicious SSH server to corrupt heap metadata in any connecting client by
    sending a packet with a packet_length smaller than the cipher's block size during Encrypt-then-MAC cipher
    negotiation. In the fullpacket() function in src/transport.c, the ETM path allocates a buffer of
    packet_length bytes but copies blocksize minus one bytes via memcpy, causing an overflow that on 32-bit
    glibc writes attacker-controlled bytes into an adjacent chunk's SIZE field, enabling tcache bin confusion,
    overlapping live objects, and function pointer overwrite during the session handshake before
    authentication.

    CVE-2026-66034:
    libssh2 through 1.11.1, fixed in commit a13bb6c, contains a missing bounds check vulnerability that allows
    a malicious SSH server to trigger an arbitrary-length heap out-of-bounds read and a free of an
    uninitialized pointer via the publickey subsystem. In libssh2_publickey_list_fetch(), the version 1
    response parser reads a server-controlled comment_len value and advances the parse pointer without
    verifying sufficient bytes remain in the buffer, causing the out-of-bounds read to leak heap pointers from
    adjacent allocations defeating ASLR, followed by heap allocator state corruption when the error cleanup
    path frees an uninitialized pointer from a non-zeroed realloc() region.

    CVE-2026-66033:
    libssh2 through 1.11.1, fixed in commit a2ed82d, contains a pre-authentication integer underflow
    vulnerability in the ssh2_cipher_crypt() function in src/openssl.c that allows a malicious SSH server to
    crash any connecting client by negotiating AES-GCM ciphers during handshake.

    CVE-2026-66032:
    libssh2 through 1.11.1 contains a double-free vulnerability in the sftp_open() function in src/sftp.c that
    allows a malicious SSH server to corrupt the heap of any authenticated client opening an SFTP session.
    When a server responds to SSH_FXP_OPEN with SSH_FXP_STATUS containing FX_OK, the response data buffer is
    freed, and if a subsequent sftp_packet_require() call returns a specific error such as
    LIBSSH2_ERROR_CHANNEL_PACKET_EXCEEDED, the same pointer is freed a second time, enabling tcache dup
    conditions on glibc systems.

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.");
