When reading a specially crafted 7Z archive, the construction of the list of codecs that decompress an entry can result in an infinite loop. This could be used to mount a denial of service attack against services that use Compress' sevenz package.

unity_linux UTSA-2026-032264: Unity Linux: apache-commons-compress (UTSA-2026-032264)

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

  - When reading a specially crafted 7Z archive, the construction of the list of codecs that decompress an     entry can result in an infinite loop. This could be used to mount a denial of service attack against     services that use Compress' sevenz package. (CVE-2021-35515)

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

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - When reading a specially crafted 7Z archive, the construction of the list of codecs that decompress an

The version of Oracle JDeveloper installed on the remote host is missing a security patch. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the January 2024 CPU advisory. 
  - Vulnerability in the Oracle JDeveloper product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Oracle JDeveloper     (Apache Commons Compress)). The supported version that is affected is 12.2.1.4.0. Easily exploitable     vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle JDeveloper.     Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently     repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle JDeveloper. (CVE-2021-36090)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle JDeveloper product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: ADF Faces (Google Guava)).     The supported version that is affected is 12.2.1.4.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged     attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle JDeveloper executes to compromise Oracle JDeveloper.     Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access     to critical data or all Oracle JDeveloper accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or     complete access to all Oracle JDeveloper accessible data. (CVE-2023-2976)
