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

  - A stack buffer overflow flaw was found in 389 Directory Server. The checkPrefix() function in pw.c copies
    an attacker-controlled algorithm ID into a 256-byte stack buffer without bounds checking when parsing
    reversible-encrypted attribute values. An attacker with Directory Manager privileges can crash the LDAP
    server by storing a crafted credential with an oversized algorithm ID. FORTIFY_SOURCE mitigates this to
    denial of service only. (CVE-2026-11793)

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