"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2026:0812 advisory.

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

    CVE-2026-56392:
    GNU coreutils unexpand is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow due to an integer overflow during
    buffer allocation when processing large tab stop (-t) values. The multiplication used to calculate the
    allocation size can wrap around, resulting in an undersized buffer.
    When processing crafted input, subsequent writes exceed the allocated memory, leading to an
    outofbounds heap write.

    When running GNU coreutils unexpand with attacker-provided large tab stop (-t) arguments, this behavior
    leads to a crash and potentially achieve a heap write primitive depending on memory layout.










    This issue has been fixed in the commit b60a159fdc5bfcf9988d3a4cb6f53abe8ad5d35d

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent 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.");
