Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2025-1795

medium Nessus Plugin ID 232012

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

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

- During an address list folding when a separating comma ends up on a folded line and that line is to be unicode-encoded then the separator itself is also unicode-encoded. Expected behavior is that the separating comma remains a plan comma. This can result in the address header being misinterpreted by some mail servers. (CVE-2025-1795)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
