Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-1485

low Nessus Plugin ID 296781

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 flaw was found in Glib's content type parsing logic. This buffer underflow vulnerability occurs because the length of a header line is stored in a signed integer, which can lead to integer wraparound for very large inputs. This results in pointer underflow and out-of-bounds memory access. Exploitation requires a local user to install or process a specially crafted treemagic file, which can lead to local denial of service or application instability. (CVE-2026-1485)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
