"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1792053113 advisory.
- lrzsz before 0.13.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the lrz receive utility's restricted mode
that allows malicious ZMODEM senders to write files outside the current directory using absolute
pathnames. Because checkpath() in src/lrz.c only rejects '../' sequences unless built with --enable-
pubdir, attackers can send files named with absolute paths to overwrite any file writable by the receiving
user. (CVE-2026-105840)
- lrzsz before 0.13.0 contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the lrz receive utility's pipe mode
that allows remote senders to execute commands by supplying crafted filenames. When lrz runs under a
suffixed name such as lrztar, procheader() in src/lrz.c passes the unescaped ZMODEM/YMODEM filename to
popen(), so shell metacharacters execute as the receiving user. (CVE-2026-105841)
- lrzsz before 0.13.0 contains a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in procheader() of the lrz receive
utility when copying overlong sender-supplied filenames into Pathname. Malicious ZMODEM senders can supply
filenames up to 8192 bytes, overflowing the buffer via sprintf() in pipe mode or strcpy() to corrupt heap
memory and crash lrz. (CVE-2026-105842)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
