"The CentOS Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare CENTOS6:CLSA-2026:1783629620 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in GLib. An off-by-one error can occur in the gvs_tuple_is_normal function in the
    glib/gvariant-serialiser.c file when doing an alignment padding check because the bounds check uses >
    instead of >=, causing an out-of-bounds read of only 1 byte. This issue can cause a minor information
    disclosure of 1 byte and a denial of service when the out-of-bounds read crosses a page boundary.
    (CVE-2026-58010)

  - A flaw was found in GLib. A buffer over-read can occur in the g_regex_replace function when used with the
    `G_REGEX_RAW` compile flag and case-change replacement escapes because the string_append function
    processes matched substrings using UTF-8 functions that assume valid UTF-8 input, even when the string is
    treated as raw bytes. This vulnerability can cause a minor information disclosure of 1-5 bytes and a
    denial of service when the buffer over-read crosses a page boundary. (CVE-2026-58012)

  - A flaw was found in GLib. An off-by-one error can occur in the g_key_file_get_locale_string_list function
    in the gkeyfile.c file when loading a key file with an empty value. This flaw can cause an out-of-bounds
    access of 1 byte or a denial of service when the out-of-bounds access crosses a page boundary.
    (CVE-2026-58014)

  - A flaw was found in GLib. The D-Bus client-side implementation of the DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 SASL authentication
    mechanism does not validate the cookie_context parameter received from the server. A malicious D-Bus
    server can supply a cookie_context containing path traversal sequences, causing the client to read an
    arbitrary file and exfiltrate sensitive data by verifying guessed file contents against a generated hash.
    (CVE-2026-58015)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
