"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 libssh. During SFTP server directory listing, the longname field is constructed with
    unsafe concatenation into a fixed-size stack buffer. When a client causes the server to list attacker-
    controlled filenames, sufficiently long names can overflow that stack buffer and may lead to crashes or
    possible code execution on the server. (CVE-2026-15370)

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