"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-fits plugin in GIMP. When processing a FITS image file, the plugin calculates
    memory allocation sizes using signed 32-bit integers for width and height. If a crafted file sets both
    values to large values, their product exceeds 2^31 and overflows, resulting in an undersized heap-based
    buffer allocation. This integer overflow issue results in a heap-based buffer overflow when cfitsio
    subsequently writes a full row of pixels in the buffer, causing memory corruption, potentially leading to
    arbitrary code execution or a denial of service. (CVE-2026-66758)

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