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

  - The Erlang/OTP ssl application does not detect cycles when reconstructing an incomplete peer certificate     chain during a TLS or DTLS handshake. In ssl_certificate:handle_incomplete_chain/5, the received chain is     passed to ssl_certificate:build_certificate_chain/5, which walks issuer relationships via     ssl_certificate:do_certificate_chain/7 with no cycle detection and no depth limit. When the peer supplies     two mutually cross-signed certificates in unordered form (A issues B, B issues A), the issuer lookup     alternates between the two certificates and the pair of functions recurses indefinitely, growing the call     stack and chain accumulator without bound. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a crafted     certificate chain in a TLS or DTLS Certificate handshake message to exhaust available memory and crash the     BEAM node. Only a TCP connection and a partial handshake are required; no authentication or completed     handshake is needed, and both TLS/DTLS servers and clients are affected when processing peer certificate     messages. This issue affects OTP from OTP 23.2 before OTP 27.3.4.15, OTP 28.5.0.4, and OTP 29.0.4,     corresponding to ssl from 10.2 before 11.2.12.11, 11.6.0.4, and 11.7.4. (CVE-2026-58227)

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