"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- Netty, an asynchronous, event-driven network application framework, has a vulnerability in versions up to
and including 4.1.118.Final. An unsafe reading of environment file could potentially cause a denial of
service in Netty. When loaded on an Windows application, Netty attempts to load a file that does not
exist. If an attacker creates such a large file, the Netty application crash. A similar issue was
previously reported as CVE-2024-47535. This issue was fixed, but the fix was incomplete in that null-bytes
were not counted against the input limit. Commit d1fbda62d3a47835d3fb35db8bd42ecc205a5386 contains an
updated fix. (CVE-2025-25193)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
