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

  - A flaw was found in glib. Missing validation of offset and count parameters in the
    g_buffered_input_stream_peek() function can lead to an integer overflow during length calculation. When
    specially crafted values are provided, this overflow results in an incorrect size being passed to
    memcpy(), triggering a buffer overflow. This can cause application crashes, leading to a Denial of Service
    (DoS). (CVE-2026-0988)

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