"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-2026:1020 advisory.

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

    CVE-2026-55894:
    Capstone is a disassembly framework. In 6.0.0-Alpha9 and earlier, Capstone's arch/SH/SHDisassembler.c
    sh_disassemble() function computes an idx value from a raw 16-bit instruction without ensuring it is
    within the active mode-specific decode[] function-pointer table. An application using CS_ARCH_SH with
    CS_MODE_SH2A or CS_MODE_SH4A and CS_MODE_SHFPU can pass crafted bytecode through cs_disasm_iter() or
    cs_disasm(), causing the decode[idx] test to read outside the table and terminate the process with a
    segmentation fault.

    CVE-2026-55893:
    Capstone is a disassembly framework. In 6.0.0-Alpha9 and earlier, Capstone's arch/SH/SHDisassembler.c SH
    floating-point decoders such as opFADD, opFMUL, and opFSUB call set_reg() and set_reg_n() using
    sh_info.op.op_count without checking the fixed-size operands[] array. Repeated crafted instructions
    processed through cs_disasm_iter() or cs_disasm() with CS_ARCH_SH, CS_MODE_SH2A or CS_MODE_SH4A,
    CS_MODE_SHFPU, and CS_OPT_DETAIL can increment the operand count beyond the 176-byte sh_info allocation
    and perform a four-byte heap buffer overflow write. The corruption can crash the process and may enable
    code execution depending on heap layout. This issue is fixed in version 6.0.0-Alpha10.

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.");
