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

  - A missing lower-bound validation in the bson_new_from_buffer() function of libbson allows an integer
    underflow when processing BSON data with a zero-length prefix. The function reads a 32-bit document length
    from the input buffer but does not verify that the value is at least 5 (the minimum valid BSON document
    size) before using it in an array index calculation. When the length field is zero, the expression used to
    check the document's null terminator wraps to UINT32_MAX, causing a heap out-of-bounds read that crashes
    the process. An unauthorized party who can supply crafted BSON input to an application using this API can
    cause a denial of service. (CVE-2026-93395)

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