  - quic-go is an implementation of the QUIC protocol in Go. The loss recovery logic for path probe packets
    that was added in the v0.50.0 release can be used to trigger a nil-pointer dereference by a malicious QUIC
    client. In order to do so, the attacker first sends valid QUIC packets from different remote addresses
    (thereby triggering the newly added path validation logic: the server sends path probe packets), and then
    sending ACKs for packets received from the server specifically crafted to trigger the nil-pointer
    dereference. v0.50.1 contains a patch that fixes the vulnerability. This release contains a test that
    generates random sequences of sent packets (both regular and path probe packets), that was used to verify
    that the patch actually covers all corner cases. No known workarounds are available. (CVE-2025-29785)

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