"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-2026:0856 advisory.

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

    CVE-2026-66486:
    GNU cpio is vulnerable to improper encoding or escaping of output in its archive member listing
    functionality. When listing archive members via cpio -it, member names are printed directly to output
    without quoting or escaping. An attacker can craft a cpio archive containing member names with embedded
    newline characters or ANSI escape sequences, causing forged listing entries or terminal control sequence
    injection when the listing is displayed.

    CVE-2026-66485:
    GNU cpio is vulnerable to an uncontrolled memory allocation in the make_path function at src/makepath.c.
    The function uses alloca to allocate stack memory based on the length of argpath, which is derived from an
    archive-controlled pathname during extraction. A malicious cpio archive containing a sufficiently long
    nested pathname causes an unbounded stack allocation, resulting in a stack overflow and crash of the cpio
    process. An attacker who can supply a crafted cpio archive to a victim who extracts it can cause a denial
    of service.

    CVE-2026-66484:
    GNU cpio contains a Path Traversal vulnerability in its tar archive extraction functionality. When
    extracting a tar archive in copy-in mode with the --no-absolute-filenames option, the extracted file name
    is normalized but the tar hard-link target is passed to the link_to_name function without equivalent
    sanitization before calling link function. A tar archive provided by an attacker, containing a hard-link
    entry whose linkname is set to an absolute path outside the extraction directory, can cause cpio to create
    a hard link to an existing file outside the intended extraction directory.

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.");
