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

  - MatchTrustedPeer ignores the public key used, leading to forged CA clones passing verification. Affected
    builds are any that enable the macro WOLFSSL_TRUST_PEER_CERT and load CA certificates with
    wolfSSL_CTX_trust_peer_cert() or wolfSSL_trust_peer_cert(). The peer must know the certificates being
    loaded to either of those APIs to take advantage of the issue. When OPENSSL_COMPATIBLE_DEFAULTS is also
    defined this widens the affected API to include all CA certificate loading. Both macros are defined when
    using autoconf builds such as (nginx, haproxy, stunnel, wpas, apache httpd, hitch, bind, rsyslog, ffmpeg,
    all, distro). When the certificate is listed as a trusted peer certificate the issue previously allowed
    for a malicious (D)TLS server to bypass authentication once knowing which CA's the client would accept.
    This also affects mutual authentication cases where the client knows which CA's the server has loaded. If
    building with any of these configurations and using (D)TLS where the loaded CA's could be known and
    authentication of the peer is desired, users should either: update to the latest wolfSSL version, apply
    the fix patch, or use the configure flag --disable-openssl-compatible-defaults and not load CA's with
    wolfSSL_CTX_trust_peer_cert() or wolfSSL_trust_peer_cert() to mitigate the issue. (CVE-2026-93302)

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