"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 zip archive parser of ClamAV could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to
cause a DoS condition on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to improper boundary checks for
content in zip files during scanning, which may result in an out-of-bounds write condition. An attacker
could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a crafted zip file for scanning. A successful exploit could
allow the attacker to cause the ClamAV scanning process to terminate, resulting in a DoS condition on the
affected software. (CVE-2026-20337)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
