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

  - In OpenStack Keystone before 28.0.1, the LDAP identity backend does not convert the user enabled attribute
    to a boolean when the user_enabled_invert configuration option is False (the default). The
    _ldap_res_to_model method in the UserApi class only performed string-to-boolean conversion when
    user_enabled_invert was True. When False, the raw string value from LDAP (e.g., FALSE) was used
    directly. Since non-empty strings are truthy in Python, users marked as disabled in LDAP were treated as
    enabled by Keystone, allowing them to authenticate and perform actions. All deployments using the LDAP
    identity backend without user_enabled_invert=True or user_enabled_emulation are affected. (CVE-2026-40683)

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