"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.

  - In OCaml before 4.14.3 and 5.x before 5.4.1, a buffer over-read in Marshal deserialization
    (runtime/intern.c) enables remote code execution through a multi-phase attack chain. The vulnerability
    stems from missing bounds validation in the readblock() function, which performs unbounded memcpy()
    operations using attacker-controlled lengths from crafted Marshal data. (CVE-2026-28364)

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