The version of AHV installed on the remote host is prior to 11.0.1.1 / AHV-11.0.1.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AHV-11.0.1.1 advisory.

  - LIBPNG is a reference library for use in applications that read, create, and manipulate PNG (Portable     Network Graphics) raster image files. Prior to 1.6.55, an out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the     png_set_quantize() API function. When the function is called with no histogram and the number of colors in     the palette is more than twice the maximum supported by the user's display, certain palettes will cause     the function to enter into an infinite loop that reads past the end of an internal heap-allocated buffer.
    The images that trigger this vulnerability are valid per the PNG specification. This vulnerability is     fixed in 1.6.55. (CVE-2026-25646)

  - In GnuPG before 2.4.9, armor_filter in g10/armor.c has two increments of an index variable where one is     intended, leading to an out-of-bounds write for crafted input. (For ExtendedLTS, 2.2.51 and later are     fixed versions.) (CVE-2025-68973)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: algif_aead - Revert to     operating out-of-place This mostly reverts commit 72548b093ee3 except for the copying of the associated     data. There is no benefit in operating in-place in algif_aead since the source and destination come from     different mappings. Get rid of all the complexity added for in-place operation and just copy the AD     directly. (CVE-2026-31431)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow problem was found in glib through an incorrect calculation of buffer size in     the g_escape_uri_string() function. If the string to escape contains a very large number of unacceptable     characters (which would need escaping), the calculation of the length of the escaped string could     overflow, leading to a potential write off the end of the newly allocated string. (CVE-2025-13601)

  - When building nested elements using xml.dom.minidom methods such as appendChild() that have a dependency     on _clear_id_cache() the algorithm is quadratic. Availability can be impacted when building excessively     nested documents. (CVE-2025-12084)

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