  - Hamlib is a ham radio control library for radios, rotators, and amplifiers. Prior to 4.7.2, the
    unauthenticated rigctld send_raw command on TCP port 4532 reaches rigctl_send_raw() in
    tests/rigctl_parse.c, which writes a NUL byte at buf[buf_len + 1] outside its 200-byte stack buffer, and
    rig_send_raw() in src/rig.c, which copies reply_len - 1 bytes instead of the actual nbytes received. A
    remote client can send the CR terminator with a short payload to trigger both flaws in one command under
    the default no-password configuration. The out-of-bounds write can crash the daemon or corrupt adjacent
    stack memory, while the oversized copy can return up to 198 bytes of uninitialized stack data to the
    client. This issue is fixed in version 4.7.2. (CVE-2026-54634)

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