The version of AHV installed on the remote host is prior to 10.3.1.7. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AHV-10.3.1.7 advisory.

  - Calling getnetbyaddr or getnetbyaddr_r with a configured nsswitch.conf that specifies the library's DNS     backend for networks and queries for a zero-valued network in the GNU C Library version 2.0 to version     2.42 can leak stack contents to the configured DNS resolver. (CVE-2026-0915)

  - A flaw was found in GnuTLS. This vulnerability allows a denial of service (DoS) by excessive CPU (Central     Processing Unit) and memory consumption via specially crafted malicious certificates containing a large     number of name constraints and subject alternative names (SANs). (CVE-2025-14831)

  - A flaw was found in the GnuTLS library, specifically in the gnutls_pkcs11_token_init() function that     handles PKCS#11 token initialization. When a token label longer than expected is processed, the function     writes past the end of a fixed-size stack buffer. This programming error can cause the application using     GnuTLS to crash or, in certain conditions, be exploited for code execution. As a result, systems or     applications relying on GnuTLS may be vulnerable to a denial of service or local privilege escalation     attacks. (CVE-2025-9820)

  - pyasn1 is a generic ASN.1 library for Python. Prior to 0.6.2, a Denial-of-Service issue has been found     that leads to memory exhaustion from malformed RELATIVE-OID with excessive continuation octets. This     vulnerability is fixed in 0.6.2. (CVE-2026-23490)

  - Issue summary: Calling PKCS12_get_friendlyname() function on a maliciously crafted PKCS#12 file with a     BMPString (UTF-16BE) friendly name containing non-ASCII BMP code point can trigger a one byte write before     the allocated buffer. Impact summary: The out-of-bounds write can cause a memory corruption which can have     various consequences including a Denial of Service. The OPENSSL_uni2utf8() function performs a two-pass     conversion of a PKCS#12 BMPString (UTF-16BE) to UTF-8. In the second pass, when emitting UTF-8 bytes, the     helper function bmp_to_utf8() incorrectly forwards the remaining UTF-16 source byte count as the     destination buffer capacity to UTF8_putc(). For BMP code points above U+07FF, UTF-8 requires three bytes,     but the forwarded capacity can be just two bytes. UTF8_putc() then returns -1, and this negative value is     added to the output length without validation, causing the length to become negative. The subsequent     trailing NUL byte is then written at a negative offset, causing write outside of heap allocated buffer.
    The vulnerability is reachable via the public PKCS12_get_friendlyname() API when parsing attacker-     controlled PKCS#12 files. While PKCS12_parse() uses a different code path that avoids this issue,     PKCS12_get_friendlyname() directly invokes the vulnerable function. Exploitation requires an attacker to     provide a malicious PKCS#12 file to be parsed by the application and the attacker can just trigger a one     zero byte write before the allocated buffer. For that reason the issue was assessed as Low severity     according to our Security Policy. The FIPS modules in 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3 and 3.0 are not affected by this     issue, as the PKCS#12 implementation is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary. OpenSSL 3.6, 3.5, 3.4,     3.3, 3.0 and 1.1.1 are vulnerable to this issue. OpenSSL 1.0.2 is not affected by this issue.

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