"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 389 Directory Server in the __aclp__normalize_acltxt() function of aclparse.c. A
    malformed ACI (Access Control Instruction) string can trigger heap-buffer-overflow writes and reads during
    ACI parsing. The function fails to validate that the ACI keyword has sufficient length after whitespace
    stripping, leading to a 1-byte out-of-bounds write and subsequent out-of-bounds reads. An authenticated
    user with write access to the aci attribute could send a crafted ACI value to silently corrupt heap memory
    in the directory server process. (CVE-2026-12528)

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