"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- A vulnerability in the InstallShield file format parser of ClamAV could allow an unauthenticated, remote
attacker to cause a DoS condition on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to improper handling of
temporary resources during file scanning. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a
crafted InstallShield file to be scanned by ClamAV on an affected device. A successful exploit could allow
the attacker to terminate the ClamAV scanning process and temporarily consume available system resources,
resulting in a DoS condition on the affected software. (CVE-2026-20216)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
