Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-11791
medium Nessus Plugin ID 320161
Language:
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 389 Directory Server. During schema reload, the attr_syntax_swap_ht() function unconditionally frees attribute syntax information nodes, bypassing the refcount-based deferred deletion used elsewhere in the attribute syntax subsystem. If an administrator triggers schema reload while concurrent LDAP query traffic is active, worker threads may access freed memory, resulting in use-after- free or double-free and a denial of service (server crash). (CVE-2026-11791)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
