Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Fedora 42 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2025-5b2d494617 advisory.

 This update addresses a flaw in which processing a specially-crafted YAML document could lead to accessing information outside of the document itself and hence potential information disclosure.


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

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

Solution

Update the affected perl-YAML-Syck package.
