  - libfuse is the reference implementation of the Linux FUSE. From version 3.18.0 to before version 3.18.2, a
    use-after-free vulnerability in the io_uring subsystem of libfuse allows a local attacker to crash FUSE
    filesystem processes and potentially execute arbitrary code. When io_uring thread creation fails due to
    resource exhaustion (e.g., cgroup pids.max), fuse_uring_start() frees the ring pool structure but stores
    the dangling pointer in the session state, leading to a use-after-free when the session shuts down. The
    trigger is reliable in containerized environments where cgroup pids.max limits naturally constrain thread
    creation. This issue has been patched in version 3.18.2. (CVE-2026-33150)

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