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

  - A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in the SASL I/O layer of 389 Directory Server (389-ds-base). After a
    successful SASL bind with integrity protection (SSF > 0), an authenticated attacker can send a specially
    crafted oversized LDAP UNBIND packet that is copied into a 512-byte heap receive buffer without a bounds
    check in sasl_io_recv() in sasl_io.c. This allows up to approximately 2 megabytes of attacker-controlled
    data to overflow the buffer, causing a denial of service (server crash). In FreeIPA and Red Hat Identity
    Management deployments, any domain user with a valid Kerberos ticket, any enrolled host, or any service
    account can trigger this vulnerability over the network after authenticating via GSSAPI. The vulnerable
    code path has existed since approximately 2013 (389-ds-base 1.3.2) and was not addressed by the
    CVE-2025-14905 fix, which patched a separate heap overflow in schema.c only. (CVE-2026-11610)

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