"According to its self-reported version, the remote device is running Wind River VxWorks 7. Releases 24.03 through
26.03 are affected by a denial of service vulnerability:
- In Wind River VxWorks 7 24.03 through 26.03, a memory leak occurs under specific, non-default configuration states
when processing specific service routines, causing the system to terminate operations before releasing allocated
memory pools. (CVE-2026-102005)
Note that Nessus cannot determine the VxWorks 7 release designation (for example 26.03) from the detected operating
system version, and cannot confirm the non-default configuration required for exploitation. This finding is therefore
reported as a potential vulnerability.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the OS version.");
