Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-42450

high Nessus Plugin ID 322672

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.

 - OpenColorIO is a color management framework for visual effects and animation. Prior to version 2.5.2, `FileFormatSpi3D.cpp:163` uses `sscanf` with `%s` into 64-byte stack buffers when parsing LUT data lines.
 Input comes from `lineBuffer[4096]`, so a crafted .spi3d file can overflow by ~4000 bytes on non-Windows.
 Version 2.5.2 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-42450)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
