Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2025-22870

medium Nessus Plugin ID 232161

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.

- Matching of hosts against proxy patterns can improperly treat an IPv6 zone ID as a hostname component. For example, when the NO_PROXY environment variable is set to *.example.com, a request to [::1%25.example.com]:80` will incorrectly match and not be proxied. (CVE-2025-22870)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
