medium Nessus Plugin ID 251199

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.

 - A vulnerability was found in WebAssembly wabt up to 1.0.37. It has been classified as problematic.
 Affected is the function OnDataCount of the file src/interp/binary-reader-interp.cc. The manipulation leads to resource consumption. Attacking locally is a requirement. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. A similar issue reported during the same timeframe was disputed by the code maintainer because it might not affect real world wasm programs. Therefore, this entry might get disputed as well in the future. (CVE-2025-6274)

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