  - A use-after-free flaw was found in mutter in the Wayland color-management ICC image-description path. A
    local attacker who can run a malicious Wayland client can destroy a wp_image_description_v1 resource while
    an asynchronous ICC file read is still in progress. When the read completes, the compositor uses the freed
    wl_resource, writes into freed memory, and frees a pointer derived from that memory. This can crash the
    GNOME session and may allow arbitrary code execution within the compositor process. (CVE-2026-108094)

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