"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-2026:0848 advisory.

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

    CVE-2026-55653:
    A flaw was found in OpenSSH. A malicious SSH server can exploit a double free vulnerability in the Diffie-
    Hellman Group Exchange (DH-GEX) client path. This occurs during FIPS (Federal Information Processing
    Standards) mode known-group validation when the client processes attacker-controlled DH-GEX group
    parameters. Successful exploitation leads to client-side process termination, resulting in a Denial of
    Service (DoS).

    CVE-2026-55655:
    A flaw was found in OpenSSH. A local unprivileged attacker on a Linux client host can hijack client-side
    X11 forwarding connections. This is possible by pre-binding the preferred abstract X socket name when X11
    forwarding is enabled and a local UNIX-domain X socket is used. A successful attack can compromise the
    confidentiality of forwarded X11 traffic, including sensitive window contents and input, and may allow
    some manipulation of the forwarded session.

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.");
