"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.

  - In Eclipse Paho Go MQTT v3.1 library (paho.mqtt.golang) versions <=1.5.0 UTF-8 encoded strings, passed
    into the library, may be incorrectly encoded if their length exceeds 65535 bytes. This may lead to
    unexpected content in packets sent to the server (for example, part of an MQTT topic may leak into the
    message body in a PUBLISH packet). The issue arises because the length of the data passed in was converted
    from an int64/int32 (depending upon CPU) to an int16 without checks for overflows. The int16 length was
    then written, followed by the data (e.g. topic). This meant that when the data (e.g. topic) was over 65535
    bytes then the amount of data written exceeds what the length field indicates. This could lead to a
    corrupt packet, or mean that the excess data leaks into another field (e.g. topic leaks into message
    body). (CVE-2025-10543)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
