"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 3.0.21.0, 3.1.16.0, and 3.2.0.3-beta1, A truncated tga can leave a
pending gif frame that is processed during output close. gifsplitpalette() computes numpixels multiplied
by the palette partition width in signed 32-bit arithmetic; a large image overflows that intermediate,
corrupts subpixelsa, and drives an out-of-bounds read while building the gif palette, resulting in a
process crash and denial of service. The affected implementation is identified by src/gif.imageio/gif.h,
GifSplitPalette(), numPixels, subPixelsA, GIFOutput, and truncated TGA input, which define the relevant
source path, functions, state, and trigger. This issue is fixed in versions 3.0.21.0, 3.1.16.0, and
3.2.0.3-beta1. (CVE-2026-65969)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
