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

  - A flaw was found in FreeIPA. When a trust relationship is configured between FreeIPA and Active Directory,
    Active Directory users can bypass authentication for FreeIPA services, including the portal, SMB server,
    and LDAP directory. This is possible by impersonating a client name in the Ticket Granting Service (TGS)
    due to FreeIPA services not verifying Privilege Attribute Certificate (PAC) certificates. This
    vulnerability could allow an authenticated Active Directory user to escalate their privileges within the
    FreeIPA domain. (CVE-2026-11861)

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