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

  - A weakness has been identified in valkey-io valkey up to 9.0.5/9.1.1. This affects the function
    kvstoreGetHashtable of the file src/kvstore.c. This manipulation of the argument didx causes out-of-bounds
    read. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The attack is considered to have high complexity. It
    is indicated that the exploitability is difficult. The exploit has been made available to the public and
    could be used for attacks. Patch name: 4691888e7fab3df128f0bde5750c9fde2ae552fa. To fix this issue, it is
    recommended to deploy a patch. Exploitation requires cluster mode plus attacker-controlled dump.rdb at
    startup (data-dir write access, replication feed, or a stored crafted RDB) - an attacker-position DoS at
    boot, not network pre-auth. The issue report was closed stating it is worth fixing for the sake of memory
    safety but I don't think it meets our bar for a security disclosure. (CVE-2026-86227)

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