Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Fedora 43 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-fdc100f74f advisory.

 This update fixes a couple of security issues:

 * Replace two arg open (CVE-2026-8704)
 * Replace `rand()` with a cryptographically-secure source of random data for seed generation (CVE-2026-8700)



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

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

Solution

Update the affected perl-Crypt-DSA package.
