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

  - A flaw was found in the file-sgi plugin in GIMP. When processing an RLE-compressed SGI image, the plugin
    allocates memory for a row table. The image header dimensions (ysize and zsize) are read as 16-bit
    unsigned integers. If a crafted file sets both dimensions to their maximum value (65535), the
    multiplication ysize * zsize overflows the standard 32-bit int boundary before being passed to calloc.
    This integer overflow issue results in undefined behavior, aborting the plugin and causing a denial of
    service. (CVE-2026-66757)

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