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

  - A flaw has been found in OFFIS DCMTK up to 3.7.0. The affected element is the function XMLNode::parseFile
    in the library ofstd/libsrc/ofxml.cc. Executing a manipulation can lead to heap-based buffer overflow. The
    attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been published and may be used. This patch is called
    1d4b3815c0987840a983160bfc671fef63a3105b. It is best practice to apply a patch to resolve this issue. The
    vendor was contacted early, responded in a very professional manner and quickly released a fixed version
    of the affected product. (CVE-2026-12805)

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