The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability in the Elixir standard library's Version module allows an     attacker who controls a version string to cause a denial of service through CPU and memory exhaustion. The     version parser converts numeric version components (major, minor, patch and numeric pre-release/build     identifiers) to integers without bounding their length. A single large all-digit component therefore     forces a super-linear, non-yielding base-10 to arbitrary-precision integer conversion     (String.to_integer/1, i.e. :erlang.binary_to_integer/1) that pins a BEAM scheduler, and a larger component     raises an uncaught SystemLimitError that crashes the calling process. A single moderately sized string     (around one megabyte) is enough; no authentication is required. This is reachable from the public entry     points Version.parse/1, Version.parse!/1, Version.match?/3, Version.compare/2, and     Version.parse_requirement/1, which applications routinely call on untrusted input such as HTTP parameters,     dependency-manifest fields, and package metadata. This vulnerability is associated with program files     lib/version.ex and program routines 'Elixir.Version.Parser':parse_digits/2. This issue affects Elixir:
    from 1.5.0 before 1.20.1. (CVE-2026-49762)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
