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

  - A certificate with no dNSName SAN but another SAN type present (e.g. registeredID or iPAddress) bypassed
    the Subject CN dNSName name-constraint check. The CN-as-DNS fallback was gated on cert->subjectCN != NULL
    && cert->altNames == NULL && !cert->isCA instead of no dNSName SAN, so an out-of-scope CN was accepted.
    This incomplete fix from CVE-2026-6731, leading to the name-constraint check issue, was introduced in
    wolfSSL version 5.9.2. (CVE-2026-89134)
