patched.");

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

  - Issue summary: An attacker-controlled CMP (Certificate Management Protocol) server could trigger a NULL
    pointer dereference in a CMP client application. Impact summary: A NULL pointer dereference causes a crash
    of the application and a Denial of Service. An attacker controlling a CMP server (or acting as a man-in-
    the-middle) could craft a CMP response containing a CRMF (Certificate Request Message Format)
    CertRepMessage with an EncryptedValue structure where the symmAlg field has an algorithm OID but no
    parameters field. When the OpenSSL CMP client processes this response, the NULL dereference occurs,
    causing a crash of the CMP client. Applications that process untrusted CMP/CRMF messages may be affected.
    The FIPS modules in 4.0, 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, and 3.0 are not affected by this issue, as the affected code is
    outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary. (CVE-2026-42767)

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