high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 474270

Description

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

 - Calling strfmon and strfmon_l in the GNU C Library version 2.38 to 2.44 can write past the end of the
 caller-supplied output buffer when a conversion uses right-justified width padding. Exploitation requires
 an application code path that calls strfmon or strfmon_l with right-justified width padding into a
 destination buffer that is large enough for the padding to succeed but too small for the internal memmove
 call. The field width or format may be attacker-influenced or a fixed susceptible pattern in the caller.
 At the time of publication, no network-facing application impact is known. (CVE-2026-19499)

Solution

Update the glibc-2.44 library and its related packages to version 2.44-r4 or later.
