CentOS 9 : libsolv-0.7.24-6.el9

high Nessus Plugin ID 320219

Synopsis

The remote CentOS host is missing a security update for libsolv.

Description

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the libsolv-0.7.24-6.el9 build changelog.

 - A flaw was found in libsolv. This heap buffer overflow occurs during the decompression of attacker- controlled compressed data within `.solv` files due to insufficient input validation. An attacker can provide a specially crafted `.solv` file, which, when processed by a vulnerable application, can lead to out-of-bounds memory access. This could result in information disclosure, alteration of program execution, or a denial of service. (CVE-2026-48864)

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

Solution

Update the CentOS 9 Stream libsolv package.
