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

  - A security vulnerability has been detected in Cesanta Mongoose up to 7.20. This affects the function
    getpeer of the file /src/net_builtin.c of the component TCP Sequence Number Handler. The manipulation
    leads to improper verification of source of a communication channel. The attack may be initiated remotely.
    The attack's complexity is rated as high. The exploitability is reported as difficult. The exploit has
    been disclosed publicly and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not
    respond in any way. (CVE-2026-2967)

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