The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 7.3.1.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-7.3.1.5 advisory.

  - A vulnerability has been found in GNU Binutils 2.45. The affected element is the function elf_swap_shdr in     the library bfd/elfcode.h of the component Linker. The manipulation leads to heap-based buffer overflow.
    The attack must be carried out locally. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The     identifier of the patch is 9ca499644a21ceb3f946d1c179c38a83be084490. To fix this issue, it is recommended     to deploy a patch. The code maintainer replied with [f]ixed for 2.46. (CVE-2025-11083)

  - LIBPNG is a reference library for use in applications that read, create, and manipulate PNG (Portable     Network Graphics) raster image files. From version 1.6.0 to before 1.6.51, an out-of-bounds read     vulnerability exists in png_image_read_composite when processing palette images with     PNG_FLAG_OPTIMIZE_ALPHA enabled. The palette compositing code in png_init_read_transformations incorrectly     applies background compositing during premultiplication, violating the invariant component  alpha  257     required by the simplified PNG API. This issue has been patched in version 1.6.51. (CVE-2025-64720)

  - LIBPNG is a reference library for use in applications that read, create, and manipulate PNG (Portable     Network Graphics) raster image files. From version 1.6.0 to before 1.6.51, there is a heap buffer overflow     vulnerability in the libpng simplified API function png_image_finish_read when processing 16-bit     interlaced PNGs with 8-bit output format. Attacker-crafted interlaced PNG files cause heap writes beyond     allocated buffer bounds. This issue has been patched in version 1.6.51. (CVE-2025-65018)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of     Oracle Java SE (component: RMI). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u471,     8u471-b50, 8u471-perf, 11.0.29, 17.0.17, 21.0.9, 25.0.1; Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.17 and 21.0.9;
    Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 21.3.16. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated     attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK,     Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized     update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM     Enterprise Edition accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Java SE,     Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition accessible data. Note: This vulnerability can be     exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g., through a web service which supplies data to the     APIs. This vulnerability also applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web     Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from     the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. (CVE-2026-21925)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of     Oracle Java SE (component: Networking). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u471,     8u471-b50, 8u471-perf, 11.0.29, 17.0.17, 21.0.9, 25.0.1; Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.17 and 21.0.9;
    Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 21.3.16. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated     attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK,     Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than     the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM     Enterprise Edition, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful     attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle     Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition accessible data as well as unauthorized     read access to a subset of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition     accessible data. Note: This vulnerability can be exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g.,     through a web service which supplies data to the APIs. This vulnerability also applies to Java     deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets,     that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox     for security. (CVE-2026-21933)
