  - A flaw was found in the FTP GVfs backend. A malicious FTP server can exploit this vulnerability by
    providing an arbitrary IP address and port in its passive mode (PASV) response. The client unconditionally
    trusts this information and attempts to connect to the specified endpoint, allowing the malicious server
    to probe for open ports accessible from the client's network. (CVE-2026-28295)

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