    Mark Bereza and Lilith Wyatt discovered that BioSig incorrectly handled certain crafted input files. An
    attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of

    service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-22891, CVE-2026-20777)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
