"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-2026:1211 advisory.

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

    CVE-2026-81634:
    In NLnet Labs Unbound up to and including 1.26.0, a 255 length query name with a large TCP response can
    lead to a heap buffer overflow during the RRSet canonicalisation routine. This is caused by missing to add
    the first owner name into the buffer length check. A malicious actor operating a malicious name server or
    tampering with an incoming response to Unbound (canonicalisation happens before DNSSEC validation), can
    trigger the vulnerability.

    CVE-2026-81642:
    In NLnet Labs Unbound up to and including 1.26.0, a vulnerability was found in the DNSSEC validator that
    enables denial of service and possible remote code execution as a result of digesting DNSKEYs. A DNSKEY
    with an owner compression pointer to its own RDATA can overflow the digest buffer. Remote code execution
    is possible through attacker controlled data. An adversary can exploit the vulnerability by controlling a
    malicious zone and querying a vulnerable Unbound.

    CVE-2026-82717:
    In NLnet Labs Unbound up to and including 1.26.0, a vulnerability was found in that can progressively
    corrupt heap memory and under certain systems and compilation options could lead to remote code execution.
    The vulnerability starts when CNAME synthesis during an upstream response needs to enforce(rewrite) a max
    TTL value in the packet buffer. Coupled with a compression pointer that points to the overwritten value
    and invalidates the domain name, it leads to an error path that does not properly move the buffer position
    and allows for the heap buffer overflow. Since this is heavily reliant on heap memory layout, results are
    memory corruption that eventually leads to a crash and under specific systems and compilation options
    remote code execution.

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.");
