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

  - A weakness has been identified in Trusted Domain Project OpenDMARC up to 1.4.2. This affects the function
    opendmarc_get_tld of the file libopendmarc/opendmarc_tld.c : of the component PSL Wildcard Handler.
    Executing a manipulation can lead to origin validation error. The attack may be launched remotely. The
    exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. The vendor was contacted
    early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way. (CVE-2026-101278)

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