"The remote Ubuntu 26.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the USN-8707-1 advisory.
It was discovered that primitive decoders in openCryptoki produced integer underflows when the encoded
length was zero. An attacker could possibly use this issue to trigger out-of-bounds reads.
(CVE-2026-40253)
It was discovered that openCryptoki incorrectly handled symlinks. An attacker in the token-group could
possibly use this issue to achieve privilege escalation or access sensitive information. (CVE-2026-23893)
It was discovered that the CKM_ECDH_AES_KEY_WRAP implementation had a heap buffer overflow vulnerability.
An attacker could possibly use this issue to trigger heap corruption, or denial-of-service.
(CVE-2026-22791)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
