The "profiling.sampling" module (Python 3.15+) and "asyncio introspection capabilities" (3.14+, "python -m asyncio ps" and "python -m asyncio pstree") features could be used to read and write addresses in a privileged process if that process connected to a malicious or "infected" Python process via the remote debugging feature. This vulnerability requires persistently and repeatedly connecting to the process to be exploited, even after the connecting process crashes with high likelihood due to ASLR.

The remote Fedora 43 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-97a8eb204a advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

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

  - The profiling.sampling module (Python 3.15+) and asyncio introspection capabilities (3.14+, python -m     asyncio ps and python -m asyncio pstree) features could be used to read and write addresses in a     privileged process if that process connected to a malicious or infected Python process via the remote     debugging feature. This vulnerability requires persistently and repeatedly connecting to the process to be     exploited, even after the connecting process crashes with high likelihood due to ASLR. (CVE-2026-5713)

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