Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-55777

medium Nessus Plugin ID 331444

Language:

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.

 - GoAccess is a real-time web log analyzer and interactive viewer that runs in a terminal in *nix systems or through the browser. Prior to 1.11, the parse_ios() function uses an attacker-controlled keyword-to-OS offset as both the source offset and copy length for memmove, allowing a crafted User-Agent in a processed access log to read up to approximately 4 KB beyond the heap allocation and conditionally crash GoAccess.
 This issue is fixed in version 1.11. (CVE-2026-55777)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
