"The CentOS Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare CENTOS6:CLSA-2026:1784296198 advisory.

  - Perl versions before 5.40.5-RC1, from 5.41.0 before 5.42.3-RC1, from 5.43.0 before 5.43.10 produce
    silently incorrect regular expression matches when an alternation of more than 65535 fixed string branches
    is compiled into a trie in Perl_study_chunk. When such branches are combined into a trie, the delta
    between the first branch and the shared tail is stored in a 16-bit field. A branch count above 65535
    overflows the field, and the trie's match decision table is truncated with no warning or error. A pattern
    of this shape produces false positive matches (matching strings it should not) and false negative matches
    (failing to match strings it should). When such a pattern gates an access or filtering decision, the
    result is wrong. (CVE-2026-13221)

  - Perl versions before 5.40.5-RC1, from 5.41.0 before 5.42.3-RC1, from 5.43.0 before 5.43.11 have an integer
    overflow in S_measure_struct leading to an out-of-bounds heap read in pack and unpack. S_measure_struct
    adds each item's size times its repeat count to a running total with no overflow check, so a large repeat
    count in a pack or unpack template wraps the signed SSize_t total negative. The @, X, and x position codes
    then guard their moves with a signed length comparison that passes when the length is negative, advancing
    the buffer pointer out of bounds. A template derived from untrusted input can read heap memory past the
    buffer and return it to the caller. (CVE-2026-57432)

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