"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- OpenImageIO is a toolset for reading, writing, and manipulating image files of any image file format
relevant to VFX / animation. Prior to 3.0.20.0, 3.1.15.0, and 3.2.0.3-beta1, An uncompressed 16-bit iff
image with a z-buffer makes iffinput::readimg() allocate a temporary scanline from m_header.rgba_count but
copy from it using m_header.pixel_bytes(), whose stride also includes z-buffer bytes. the oversized memcpy
reads beyond the temporary heap buffer and copies adjacent memory into the output image, resulting in a
crash or disclosure of adjacent heap data. The affected implementation is identified by
src/iff.imageio/iffinput.cpp, IffInput::readimg(), m_header.rgba_count, and m_header.pixel_bytes(), which
define the relevant source path, functions, state, and trigger. This issue is fixed in versions 3.0.20.0,
3.1.15.0, and 3.2.0.3-beta1. (CVE-2026-59956)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
