"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- RabbitMQ is a messaging and streaming broker. Prior to versions 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, 4.2.6, and 4.3.0,
match_value/3 passes the user-supplied ?name= regular expression to re:run with no match_limit option, and
executes it once per resource in the result set. OTP's default 10M match_limit caps each call at roughly
100-200ms, but the regex runs once per resource in the result set. With a large set, for example 5000
queues at 150ms each, a single request consumes 12 or more minutes of CPU. Parallel requests saturate the
schedulers. The use_regex=true option is a supported feature on list endpoints, so this path is reachable
through normal API use. Preconditions include Any user with the management tag can exploit this.. This
issue is fixed in versions 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, 4.2.6, and 4.3.0. (CVE-2026-66074)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
