"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 gdk-pixbuf. When loading a specially crafted JPEG image containing chunked ICC profile
markers, an error during ICC profile parsing can leave stale size metadata after the profile buffer is
freed. A subsequent allocation in the same decode can cause an out-of-bounds write, potentially crashing
the application. To exploit this flaw, an application using gdk-pixbuf must process the malicious JPEG
image. Affected version >= 2.26.4 (CVE-2026-81893)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
