"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 p11-kit. The RPC message attribute parsing functions p11_rpc_message_get_attribute()
    and p11_rpc_message_get_attribute_array_value() form a mutually-recursive call chain with no recursion
    depth limit when processing nested CKA_WRAP_TEMPLATE, CKA_UNWRAP_TEMPLATE, and CKA_DERIVE_TEMPLATE
    attributes. An unauthenticated attacker with local access to the p11-kit RPC Unix domain socket can send a
    specially crafted request with deeply nested template attributes, causing stack exhaustion and crashing
    the p11-kit server process and its dependent services. (CVE-2026-13757)

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