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

  - A flaw has been found in Artifex MuPDF up to 1.26.1 on Windows. The impacted element is the function
    get_system_dpi of the file platform/x11/win_main.c. This manipulation causes uncontrolled search path. The
    attack requires local access. The attack is considered to have high complexity. The exploitability is
    regarded as difficult. Upgrading to version 1.26.2 is sufficient to resolve this issue. Patch name:
    ebb125334eb007d64e579204af3c264aadf2e244. Upgrading the affected component is recommended.
