  - A flaw was found in libarchive. This heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the RAR archive
    processing logic due to improper validation of the LZSS sliding window size after transitions between
    compression methods. A remote attacker can exploit this by providing a specially crafted RAR archive,
    leading to the disclosure of sensitive heap memory information without requiring authentication or user
    interaction. (CVE-2026-4424)

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