"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- FLTK through 1.4.5 contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Fl_BMP_Image::load_bmp_() that
allows attackers to corrupt stack memory by supplying an oversized BMP colors_used field. Attackers can
craft BMP or ICO files with colors_used above 256 to overflow the 768-byte colormap array, causing crashes
or potential code execution. (CVE-2026-116723)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
