"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- A sandbox escape vulnerability exists in the OpenJDK packages provided in Ubuntu. The .jar MIME handlers
installed by these packages execute files marked as executable when the mailcap package is installed. A
compromised or malicious sandboxed application with access to the OpenURI portal via xdg-desktop-portal-
gtk can write a malicious .jar file to the host file system, set its executable bit, and trigger the
handler to execute arbitrary code outside of the sandbox environment. (CVE-2026-10037)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
