Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-11564

critical Nessus Plugin ID 322447

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.

- libcurl keeps previously used connections in a connection pool for subsequent transfers to reuse if one of them matches the setup. An easy handle that first uses default native CA trust can continue trusting the native platform store after the application switches that same handle to custom CA material for a later transfer. (CVE-2026-11564)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
