Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability in Apache Traffic Server. This issue affects Apache Traffic Server: from 9.0.0 through 9.1.13, from 10.0.0 through 10.1.2. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 9.1.14 or 10.1.3, which fixes the issue.

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 3caa3b4b-d2ab-11f1-bae2-3497f65b111b advisory.

    The Apache Traffic Server project published security advisories               for issues fixed in releases 10.1.1 through 10.1.5.  They include               request smuggling and cache poisoning through malformed requests and               responses, memory corruption, and unauthenticated access in the               experimental plugins, which the port builds (tsmemcache, wasm, and               magick with the IMAGEMAGICK option).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD security advisory.

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

The remote Fedora 43 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-ddaabe38ab advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue 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.

  - Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability in Apache Traffic Server. This issue affects Apache     Traffic Server: from 9.0.0 through 9.1.13, from 10.0.0 through 10.1.2. Users are recommended to upgrade to     version 9.1.14 or 10.1.3, which fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-59173)

  - A denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability exists in some HTTP/2 server implementations that fail to     adequately limit resource consumption when buffering response data under stalled flow-control conditions.
    A remote, unauthenticated attacker can trigger memory exhaustion and service interruption by using     standard flow-control parameters such as SETTINGS_INITIAL_WINDOW_SIZE = 0 to stall outbound data for     multiple simultaneous request streams. (CVE-2026-59173)

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