"The CentOS Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare CENTOS-
STREAM8:CLSA-2026:1784813417 advisory.

  - systemd, a system and service manager, (as PID 1) hits an assert and freezes execution when an
    unprivileged IPC API call is made with spurious data. On version v249 and older the effect is not an
    assert, but stack overwriting, with the attacker controlled content. From version v250 and newer this is
    not possible as the safety check causes an assert instead. This IPC call was added in v239, so versions
    older than that are not affected. Versions 260-rc1, 259.2, 258.5, and 257.11 contain patches. No known
    workarounds are available. (CVE-2026-29111)

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