"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-2026:0901 advisory.
Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:
CVE-2026-44950:
A flaw was found in the libXfont2 font-server client. This heap buffer overflow vulnerability allows a
malicious font server to send specially crafted glyph data. The fs_read_glyphs() function fails to
properly validate the total size of the incoming data, leading to an overwrite of memory beyond the
intended buffer. If the X server runs as a privileged user, this could result in privilege escalation,
allowing an attacker to gain higher access. If the X server runs as an unprivileged user, it could lead to
a denial of service, causing the system to crash.
CVE-2026-59679:
A flaw was found in the libXfont2 font-server client. A remote attacker, by operating a malicious font
server, could exploit an out-of-bounds read/write vulnerability. This occurs because the client
incorrectly handles font data, leading to an out-of-bounds memory access. This can lead to privilege
escalation if the X server runs with root privileges, or a denial of service (crash) if it runs as an
unprivileged user.
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.");
